Following up on my quickie post earlier, this is a link to the restoration thread of a VERY nasty Barracuda center console I restored awhile back for one of our FABO members.
72Dodge, I quote every job individually to be fair to everyone so my PM to 68VAHCODE wouldn't really apply to you unless the parts are in exactly the same condition. If you can shoot me a few detailed pictures of yours including close ups of the nastiness -- dings, dents, damage, pitting, missing metal, etc. -- I can get back to you with a decent estimate. My email address is [email protected].
I will tell you all straight up that restoring pot metal is not an easy thing to do; if the pitting is rampant and/or deep, it can be very time consuming, labor intensive (and usually pretty expensive) when all is said and done. With my shop, obviously custom powder work is the main focus of my business ... but with all the reputable trim restoration shops dropping like flies over the last few years, I'm trying to work a few jobs in as time permits just to help fill the void in the industry. I will not and cannot claim to be an expert by any means but from what I've heard from my trim customers, the quality of work and price are beyond comparable with the guys who do it full time. It just takes me a little longer. :-D
