My '70 Super Bee tail light bezels need to be rechromed... they aren't very blistered.... does this metal rechrome ok? What is the going rate on a couple of parts like these?

ALSO... one of the bezels has 3 studs broken off. Other than JB Weld, is there a better way of fabbing/repairing the studs?

Essentially, the question is: Should I jack with it or just spend the $325 on a repop set from BE&A?

Save yourself the grief,.....buy a set from Mike Ross, at BEA.......pot metal repair is $$$$$$$ just for surface work, nevermind stud repair, plus a lot of platers usually ask you one question when dealing with pot, "do you have spares?".......cause in the process of de-electroplating the old plating off to prep the peice, sometimes the peice "dissolves" in the tank!

My trim is badly pitted.
I was lucky enough to come across NOS trim.
Add the difficulty factor in finding any decent C body trim--let alone B stchuff.
I watched these pieces for two weeks and nobody else bid on them and did not meet her reserve.
She E mailed me her offer and I bought them up.
Cost? 100.00.
That is probably still cheaper than getting re-finished,IMO>

after spending a lot of money on pot metal repair with mediocre results I strongly suggest BE&A or whoever has them

They did my check moulding and original door handle for the hemi Charger. I'm taking my wing window frames to them as well............

Hey Troy!....just curious what you paid to have your check moulding and door handles done?.....I paid $300 to have my checks done(then the repros come out for $200!).....and my handles done for $250,.....my A pillars, just the pot metal pcs,I assembled the assys after plating, cost $600 pr,.....and all the pcs were in excellent condition, only needing to be freshened up chrome wise............

I would think in the 3-4 days this post has gone on, BEA parts could have shipped the OP a set of new benzels, and he could have posted by now how nice they are!.....and how much $$$$ and aggrevation he saved?

---

Mike, I believe my original door handles were about $120/140 for the pair and shot, I think about the same if not cheaper for the check mouldings. I believe I was quote about $100 for the individual a-pillar door frames...

I talked to mike ross about the parts. I have a big list of stuff I need, so I am going to wait a while to order them. For my purposes, I don't see the value in jacking with the old ones. Thanks for all the input.
