John Murphy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 All good suggestions in the answers. Gold Macoid is just a pale gold color plastic type finish on the door handles and dash instruments. I am willing to bet that most of the restorations use gold plating as a substitute. Suggest you email Tom directly for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LINCAB4041 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I had a plating shop do mine with gold plate. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Murphy Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 What kind of a cost did it run you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LINCAB4041 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 John, I had mine gold plated in 2003. The cost at that time was $360.00. Since then, I am sure the cost of gold has jumped in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is instrument panel speedometer center radio speaker and knobs ( headlight switch choke throttle key cover ashtray cigar lighter knob) clock face and glove box door frame. e-mail me me for company name if interested. Time was 6 to 8 weeks when I sent it. Lee Waldren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
