1972 radio, guages, chrome, etc.
I am in New Jersey and have a 1972 Formula that needs a few things...
I need to find an original, working, AM/FM radio for the car. I bought and installed an aftermarket one and it fits terrible... I would like to find an original one if possible. CD player, iPod connectivity... That doesn't matter to me since I Do not listen to the radio in the car, I just want it for looks. My tachometer is not working either. I found an original cluster with the spedometer and tach, exactly like mine, and it's a good deal. How can I make sure that it works when I go to buy it? I need some chrome work done, trim pieces and such. If anybody can recommend a good chrome shop in NJ, NY, CT or even Vermont I would greatly appreciate it. Lastly, My car came with the roof drip moldings but they are no longer on the car. I ordered a set from Classic Industries but they are the slide on ones found in later years. I have another '72 Firebird that I am just beginning to restore and it has a set of these trim pieces. I do not care about keeping that car stock, so I would like to use these two trim pieces on my Formula. However, each piece has a small dent in it. Are there any good shops in New Jersey that can repair and restore these two trim pieces? Thanks for all of the help! I really appreciate it!!

here is a decent core AM-FM, they say it works and the dial looks like it at least flips as they show both AM and FM faces. The repro knobs and face plate you can buy anywhere are good quality/fit and go a long way towards making the radio look nice.
