I'm looking for the stainless door, and quarter glass, trim pieces for a 1970 Cutlass/442 Post Coupe, as well as the front/rear window trim. Must be in very good to excellent condition.

Thanks, Dave

 

Door pieces are anodized aluminum..not stainless..delicate

 

Is it a brushed aluminum finish, or polished finish...………...The trim pieces are for the race car pictured in our signature, the ones that are on the car are in fairly good shape,.... except someone painted them. Might be easier to try to refinish the ones that are in place.

Thanks, Dave

 

Chrome like...looks like shiney aluminum..not really polished looks but close

 

Refinish the pieces on your car. Many post door/window frame pieces that have been pulled off will have damage b/c whoever removed them was careless. That and any decent pieces will not likely be close to "ready to use". The anodized surface wears, they get dinged and scratched, etc so you'll be relegated to likely having to refinish any you find.

Beyond that - the pieces, if real nice, will probably be expensive. Very hard to find in good condition.

Finally, if you want a set re-anodized the correct way...BIG $$$ (it's very labor intensive). They don't look like chrome in that they are not SUPER shiny/reflective and don't have the mirror/chrome look. Sort of a "muted" or "satin" chrome appearance. Hard to describe.

As far as refinishing yours....you'll be substituting time for $. You'll have fun with yours if they still have the anodizing on them under that paint....it creates a harder surface on the aluminum and will be hard to remove it all with the pieces in place. If off the car you can have them stripped by a plating place or use HD EasyOff Oven Cleaner to help remove the anodizing (best done in warmer temps....winter temps and the EZOff may not work well or much at all). Without chemical anodizing removal you're looking at maybe an hour per piece to sand through the anodizing, if not more. And that would be the INITIAL removal which will leave fairly heavy sanding scratches. MORE TIME as you continue sanding with finer and finer grits and then move on to more of the final sanding stages prior to polishing.

And then you have the issue of trying to remove the anodizing where the various pieces fit together.....there's a "step" where two pieces meet and getting the anodizing off there could be a nightmare.

Said another way, you'd want to remove yours from the car if you were going to refinish them.

How about your windshield and rear glass moldings??? Those are stainless as already mentioned. Who knows if someone sanded those prior to painting them?

Do you have a US shipping address for delivery?? Front and Rear glass stainless pieces will be a LARGE (and long) box and your ship costs may be ridiculous.

 

 

Yes, we plan on being @ Norwalk for probably 3 events this season...…...if you are referring to us attending Dick Millers race, yes we plan on that being 1, of the 3 Norwalk races?
