I'm in the process of redoing my hard top and wanted to brighten up or refinish the gold fender and door trim. I'v gotten 2 Quotes and they run over $350. Mine are in good shape, don't need anything but re anodized. I see in Hemmings that a fellow in Pa. Reg Zelenz, has repops for $310 per set, have any of you used his stuff, is it good or is it junk. Take care, Alvin.
I got a sample from John Gamble in Columbus last September.I know someone will chime in on this.It looked real nice.Price?Don't know.
The supplier is www.burtonantiqueautoparts.com (http://www.burtonantiqueautoparts.com) (from the links thread)
The stuff is top-notch and is better than getting a set anodized because the diamond pattern is usually a little worn on the originals and his are very "fresh"
The fin mouldings they produce are also top-notch and better than the originals. They are a little thicker so more dent resistant.
The down side: the prices have doubled since I last bought from him! Not sure what your budget is but the gold trim will run you $500 and fin mouldings $400!
Either low demand or just good old fashioned inflation I guess...
Alvin...from what's been reported that I have read if you are very picky, you probably won't be happy with a re-anodize. Don't know about the particular vendor's trim you're asking about, but we had an interesting discusion on Burton's trim a while back...worth reading if you missed it. It's in the "wanted" section, about 9 down. Rich
I've gotten and used the Burton gold anodized trim and a set of hockey sticks.
I was very pleased with the quality and fit.

Zelenz' is nice but the pattern is different than original.
