Quoted me $150 for outside rear view mirror, $50 to get mirror replaced. It's all 1 pc. He will polish all my stainless trim at per hour rate and will have some one in the shop come in on a Sat/Sun. Someone (Bill/Phil) dropped off some 65 GTO stuff, rear corners, wipers, mirror, headlight bezels, ect. I will let you guys know how they turn out. Dave K.
Hello, & Happy Holidays to everyone. Phil it was good to meet you. Well the stuff is done!! The valve covers came out real nice, the mouldings not so good! Lots of pits, said cause it was Aluminum?? He said he would redo another set for nothing. I think he is pretty fair, he said over 10 hours of copper work alone on those 2 mouldings. The studs and hood plates came out very nice along with the hardware. I can say the quality of work was very good to excellent. I did drop off the windshield, back glass stainless, wipers & a couple small items to chrome, 8 weeks turn around this time. Dave K.
