Hi Frank et al,
We got back yesterday from our trip to Pittsburg to see Paul's Plating. I am having the front and rear bumpers, radiator surround, and the headlight buckets re-chromed. I am also having the headlight buckets re-engraved with the manufacturing marks. Cost $5,650 This includes repairing one of the headlight rings which needs to be soldered.
To add to my financial stress I spoke with the painter today and his work seems to be the least expensive. I am going to try Maaco. Before I add anything more to the car I want to get the exterior painted. Then I will be putting things back for the last time. Paint only approximately $1,972.30 for two tone paint job. Plus any additional body work.
No pain no gain. The good news is that the wife seems to be into the program.
PS... Are we sure that the firewall and dash and door sills were Black and not the body color ? Any & all Comments Please.
I want to go with my car's original color... Marine Blue So the next step is to prep the car for paint.
Cheers, Chet...
