I had Mark Shank (mr belvedere) - company name: Classic Metal Finishing - restore my '70 Bee's tail panel trim and look at the fantastic job that was done...!

Mark is a real cool dude and he really went above and beyond to treat my parts as though they were his. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Couldn't really get great pics, but this thing is flawless. He really did a good job with working out the nicks and a dent. I can't even tell there were any repairs. The anodized finish is superb, the brushed area is very nice and a lot of care was taken to get the paint just right.

This part of a resto is really an area where an artist is needed. It isn't often that such an amazing job is done, more to the contrary. I just thought he deserves credit for a job well done.

Pretty steep, but you know this is a delicate part and it has to be re-anodized and all.... pretty important part on a '70 Bee. I think it was like $425 + the $65 Bee emblem + shipping. After building a crate and shipping it both ways, it was quite an investment.

Years from now I won't remember the money....

Note: He stripped the piece after this photo and repainted it because it had "too much orange peel". Awesome huh?

I don't wanna go quoting prices on his behalf... I'm just going out on a limb and telling y'all what I paid. It was a while back, so who knows what he's charging now.

But if quality is what your after, don't hesitate!

This is a great thread.

He has my grille and bezels for my Dart. Great communicator and was upfront about his back log. I am excited to get them back.

Yes, it took a while to actually get the parts back, but I promise it is WORTH THE WAIT!

I've got news for ya, $425 is cheap for that quality and time spent! Mark is top notch. Imagine what an NOS piece would cost and all the shelf wear..I saw one for $2200.00 and it wasn't nearly as nice.

Tried looking up mr belvedere with no such luck, different name. Is there something I'm missing or is there another way of getting ahold of him? BTW, VERY nice!

the condition of the part will DICTATE the price .

I've had mark do a set of red circle dog dishes for me , they are too nice to put on the car ...

Sorry, it is mr_belvedere (underscore)

Try:

mark@classicmetalfinishing.net



Just so everyone knows, here is the part before he did his thing... so yes, it was nice to begin with.

Very cool! Mark is a great guy, and has the same piece done for me, as well as the front valance trim. We are a couple hours apart, not messing with shipping it. Hope to get it soon, glad to hear you are so happy, and I agree with Paul Jacobs, the price is more than fair considering the outcome and options.

Here's what your valance trim will look like... mine turned out beautiful... and for less than a Metro part!
