anybody ever repair pits in pot metal??
A friend of mine did this from caswell plating worked pretty well and saved him a huge amount of money (went from 2300.00 to 1000.00) since they didn't have to fix anything just sand and plate
he did 2 vent frames, the sargeant chevrons and the rear buckets on his 65 plymouth. of course they came out with the buckets and bezels 2 months after he had his done

Simply bead blast the casting, and/or drill out the pits with a Dremel tool or die grinder. Inject enough SOLDER-IT into the hole to just overfill it. Then, using the tip of a small torch flame, gently heat the area until the paste flows. The special fluxes and cleaning agents incorporated into the paste will fuse the molten solder to the casting to provide the perfect repair. SOLDER-IT is a perfect color match for Pot Metal, and any join lines should readily buff out. Sand flat and, if required plate with copper plate.
The finished repair has a tensile strength of up to 22,000psi, so can be used to join and repair broken sections of the casting. The Zinc Metal Solder Paste.
