Who does the best refinishing, straightening and anodizing for the upper door belt and rear 1/4 window chrome for 70 - 71 'Cuda?
Good turn around time and quality is important.
TIA

They should be stainless steel, so not anodized at all.

Barry, the upper door belt is anodized aluminum on Cuda's.
I have a few sets of originals, and up close you can see the difference between the door and quarter belt moulding.

Your best bet is to go the repop route - otherwise you need NOS - I have not found the right person yet that can repair these mouldings - so you're wasting money unless you can get somebody to recommend someone that can do it properly.

Best of luck!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the input.
I bought a 6bbl 70 Cuda in August of '77.
It had a scratched up passenger door belt chrome.
I bought one NOS from Ma Mopar back then for the paltry sum of $ 5.17 out the door.
If we would have only known

Shine on Me Trim in California restored my belt mouldings and did a fantastic job. They are one of the few restoration/replating shops that can still do the correct bright dip anodizing.
