Im new to the pre 68 mopar game here as a customer brought me a 66 charger to go through amd redo the interior. The full length console top plate is pretty pitted up. Is there anyone in particular that can restore these? Or just send it to a chrome shop and finish out the details at home?

Look for a better top. It will cost quite a bit to have one repaired and chromed

If you have to use that one, Iversons does a nice job on Pot Metal and it will still fit correctly when he is finished. I think he does the detail work too. http://www.iversonautomotive.com/

Replace it with a new reproduction.. Not cheap but I feel the only reasonable option.. Do they even do reproduction full length consoles for these cars? Never seen it.
