    OK, it looks like I'll do this again. When we get closer, like first of November, I'll post the official dates and stuff.

    You can put one in for me for my 71GS350. What will be the total cost shipped to 18974.

    Thanks, George

    I'd like to have the halves of my brake booster(s) replated. I can ask around about other stuff as well.

    I can't do brake boosters. But if it's apart and just the metal exterior part, it probably can be done.

    I'll post all the info in about 3 weeks. I have to call the plater and make sure I can do this again this year still.

    Hi Phil,
    I have a couple latches to do-65 Wildcat (another) and a 65 GS...
    How about the cups behind the headlights? I have a few of them
    and I think they were finished the same as the latches.
    I wanted to get a couple pictures of the parts before posting, but have
    early onset forgetfulness. Thanks for doing this, the ones you have done that are on my cars look great.

    I painted mine. IT looks....well ...painted...I'm in...as long as my new garage is built and my car is parked inside...otherwise I would have no hood latch to bring fr storage unit to new garage! Hey, even my wife has been after me to get that part plated!

    ttt --- just wanted to make sure everyone saw this thread.

    Phil - last year you had 2 of the 3 springs made for the '65 latches... Do you have all 3 springs this year?

    Yes, I believe so. I'll be getting this whole process started when I get back from a short vacation next week. I'm outta here.

    Hi,

    OK, I talked with the guy at the plating plant and we're a go again this year.

    All hood latches will be dipped, stripped, blasted, have the common stress crack fixed if possible, re-plated and shipped back to you. You will be sent back the one that you send me. So if yours is all bent up and pitted, that's what you'll get back. It'll just be prettier.

    Prices will stay the same as last year I believe. Soooo, if you want your hood latch just re-plated, the price will be $43 shipped back to you. You will need to remove your springs prior to shipping to me. If you want the 3 new springs installed, price will be $53 shipped back to you. All of these prices are for the continental US. If you live in Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, or overseas, I'll gladly still do it, but PM me because I'll need to adjust the price for the extra shipping charges.

    I need to get all the parts by Thanksgiving so that I can get them back to everyone before Christmas.

    You can mail them, along with cash, personal check, or money order to:

    Phillip Sedlon
    2280 Thoroughbred Drive
    Wadsworth, OH 44281

    Please, please, please, include a return address inside the box. I can't tell you how many times I've been left to figure out who sent me what and where it's going back to. Also, if you could let me know what year hood latch it is. I already have springs for 68-72 hood latches. I should have the springs for the 64-67 hood latches by next week.

    If you have other parts you would like to have plated, like disc brake brackets, manual trans linkage, or brake resevoir tops, just drop me a line and I 'll let you know what that charge is. You can email me along with any pics at sedlon1@yahoo.com.

    Any other questions, just shoot me a PM here.

    Could a set of door latches be done? Painting them seems temporary, I know it ain't right but I'd put a set on my car and maybe others would too:TU: ? Gord
