How about the b body dimmers, do you have any of those currently?

Would you be willing to sell a small parts kit for someone wanting to rebuild one at home?

thanks

Thank you for the inquiry. I have received lots of inquiries about restoring the B body 68 - 70 switches. Believe me, they are not ready to offer, but are on my radar screen.

Do you do power window switches?
Do you do power window wiring?
What about cruise control switches or control units?

Very nice work - organization is everything!

Do you deal with clutch pedal/starter-cut switches?

Very nice work

Would you consider restoring fuel sending units? This is a huge issue since "the industry" has not made accurate units in ages.

The rheostat windings are tricky, if you got one opened up you'd see it immediately. Also the contact seems to fail, so maybe a better design is possible?

Jim,

Would you rework a 68 b body ignition switch? Thanks

Hi Folks,

This is Jim from JS Restorations. I mainly specialize in Cuda and Challenger electrical restorations of the full line of switches and relays, rear window defoggers, non A/C heater boxes, and harness repair. Dash heater control panel and A/C control panel re-lettering and plastic grille restorations. Dash, front and rear lens polishing. I have lots of used parts, too.

Jim























Thanks again for looking.

Hi Jim,

I see you repair interior plastics.
It looks as if you have nailed the textured finish on the switch panels and under gauge panels. Do you have any other pictures you could post of the textured finish on panels you have repaired please< such as the radio panels and A/C panels and Non-Rallye control unit panels. It looks like i will have to send some plastics back to the USA for a touch of class from your good self, love your work .
Thanks,
Kenny.

Thank you, Kenny. Here is something slightly different from your request.

This is an order I received to make an E body rallye heater delete panel delivered in primer. The customer will be installing three round gauges and applying the finish coat. Here’s what I built from two non rallye panels.

Hi Jim WOW

Your workmanship really is outstanding. Looks like a void in the market that has been needed to be filled has finally has come with your ability to provide any panel needed weather it be custom or original with such detail work to make pieces look as new condition.

I will be in touch with you shortly to place an order, i hope business is good, i am thinking you would be swamped with request from both Country wide and World wide.

Keep up the amazing work, void filled and with class, well done JS Restorations.

I hope you like this one. This was a request from Norway to see if I could make these work again, as is. Any guesses on what car they went back into?
If you think it was from a 60's car, well no.

Hey Jim,

As for these switches you posted. I would guess they came in a mid 50's car, they look as if they are a little larger than the 60's stuff and i know that Mopar released Power everything in the 50's, you name it the released it with POWER, even to the point there was a dash mounted pod that was a light sensor that would dip your lights automatically when an approaching car came toward you.........

Do you have the electrical connector that fits to a variable wiper switch on a 70 Challenger T/A with rally cluster?

thanks.

I'll check my stock and let you know. Thank you for asking. Were you able to isolate the problem that caused that condition?

I now have an active contest in the Moparts General section for you to be able to win a restored A, B, C or E body part. Contest rules are posted there, too. Good luck.

Thank you Herve! I look forward to seeing some pictures with your car parked by La Tour Eiffel and Arc de Triomphe.

Hi Jim,
I was in Paris this morning with my Challenger, a picture in front of the Tour Eiffel and the Statue of Liberty.

I have purchased several items restored and custom made by JS Restorations. I am very picky, so Jim's OCD and attention to detail are exactly what I look for. Can't wait to order a few more high quality parts.

Amazing work Jim, again!

I'll hope to get some more work one of these days since I have power windows that act up sometimes.

Has anyone ever asked about working on Overhead console lights from SE and Gran Coupes (as well as some Sea Bodies) It got me thinking after seeing your work that this is one area that could use some action.

Jim, you're a freak, the 2 relays you did for me are a work of art brother, thx.

Thank you, Mike! Hey, wait a minute? I resemble that remark!

Here is the restoration of a DR1114447 fast idle solenoid. I can't find it in me to spell out what DR stands for, but it was grandfathered into Chrysler, so I will restore them. This was DOA part.

Nice work..!

Can you list what items you restore?

I see grilles and a lot of electrical..lol

Do you do the plating?

It's nice to see original parts restored rather than just the repop option...

---

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

I usually chat with the owner and discuss what their needs and goals are then I will give an estimate. I really don’t have a price list due to needing to see what needs restored and what condition the part is in. I use a commercial plating service for dichromate, clear zinc and black oxide. If someone asks for something that I don’t provide a service for, I am glad to make recommendations to the owner of people that special in a particular service or part for restoration.

I am asked a lot about the differences between searching for NOS electrical parts or restoring their parts. First off, you can never be sure how a forty to fifty year old part was stored over time. Those parts can have as much corrosion as the parts installed on the car. Second, who will accept a NOS electrical part for return that may not work properly? You can’t blame them. Once installed, it really isn’t NOS any longer. Third the cost. NOS electrical parts can command “unobtainium” prices. My restoration work costs less restore what you already have than chasing NOS Mopar parts, too.

Hey Scott, you just had to spell DR out!
Delco Remy? Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch…

Here is an example since I just posted this restored DR1114447 next to a NOS DR1114421 fast idle solenoid for comparison.

You are such a show off Jim. Thx for all the relays and ebody dimmer switches you did for me, some of the best work I've ever seen, a true work of art.

I know M&H sells new wiring harnesses. Would it be less expensive to have my original harnesses refinished/restored by you?

---

I can be competitive, but the real difference I offer is a service to people that really want to keep their car as original as possible. To start, I ask for some pictures and a short overview of condition of the harness sent to my email address. Then I can give you an estimate.

FWIW I have both a new M&H Harness and I have one Jim restored for me (for my 71 Duster). I installed the original Jim did, beautiful workmanship, my highest recommendation.

BTW, what about the Chrysler part tags on the harnesses? Do you replace them or try to keep the originals?
