odat Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 During the stripping process of the 32 we found all the original paint. The good news is it that it matches the color I had already picked for the car. The odd thing that we found was the that the rear light station is chrome plated under the last coat of paint. was this normal or did some cars come with those chrome? Also does anyone make the chrome strips that mount on the kick panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were chrome plated zinc originally and are often beat up. They're pretty simple to make from 1/2 round brass - shape the points on the ends and drill and tap the backsides for small screws. Then you can chrome plate and they'll be indistinguishable from original. Do you have good ones to copy?Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
