RE: [Chevelle-List] Trim Cleanup.

[John Nasta]

I have had pits filled in and parts re-chromed by M&P refinishing in PA with good results. It usually costs about $75 per part to have it filled & re-chromed.   You can also buy the solder rods from Eastwood and fill the pits yourself. Just keep in mind that you have to do a good job of cleaning out the oxidized stuff, and you have to heat the part, and let the heat from the part melt the solder rod. Otherwise the solder won't stick.   You can even get a kit from Caswell Plating to do your own chroming on small parts, but keep in mind that chrome is highly toxic and can cause birth defects. It's not something to be casually messed with.   I have 3 different suppliers who list a 1966 hood spear, but none for 65 for some reason. I assume they must be different.   John Nasta       -----Original Message-----   All,   I am looking at a hood spear on ebay and wondered how hard  it would be to get the pitting out of it... here is a link. beware of Wordwrap...     http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1849313499&rd=1   thanks Larry
