I talked to the local guy and he quoted $125 each to re-chrome the fender gills on a 67 skylark. There is usually a hazardous waste fee too so I reckon a pair will be $300 out the door. And that is for the side emblems, which are smaller than the headlight bucket. I'm re-using my grille as the chrome was in pretty good shape, but the headlight bucket have some damage on the chrome surfaces. So if YOU were a headlight bucket and wanted to be repaired and re-chromed, what would be a likely price and place to go? These are shippable size but I would hate to send them off somewhere and they get put on a shelf for 4 months so good dependable shops would be tops for me. Thanks Jon
Drill enough to eliminate all the pitting, then silver solder and fine sand smooth as frog fur, then send of to the plater. I would contact the plater and make sure they will accept the part, since they have no control over the repair.
