Headlight bezel restoration

Postby NCChallenger » 05 Apr 2007 16:53

Has anyone had any trim restored by http://www.tuffwheelrestoration.com/ . I'm thinking about having my 70 headlight bezels redone here. However, cost is $325 so I'm kind of hesitant to send them out without knowing someone's reputation for quality. Any other suggestions concerning sources for either bezel restoration or reproductions?

Thanks,
Chris

Check out this company..... http://www.anobrite.com/
I've seen their work and have used them myself for aluminum polishing and anodizing, bezel painting (68 B-body..... I paint my own Challenger headlight bezels) and stainless steel polishing. I can vouch for the quality of their work - it's top of the line.

Looks like they do some nice work Jack, I have an almost perfect 1970 Dodge Challenger front grill, one area on the very front leading edge has a tear 1" on the front tip. If this was repaired it would be perfect, it's a spare I have. BTW, that white R/T they did is nice! Kowalski's ride? :mrgreen:

Anobrite quoted me a price of $500 to restore a pair incl. one with a couple of dents....Ouch.

Jack, can they fix this one? I have a few laying around but are in very rough shape, deep gouges in all three, here is the "best" one.

I would think so, but you have to ask Marcos.

I e-mailed Marcos, along with the pic, I'll let you guys know, someone may have some in the same rough condition that could serve as a basis, thanks Jack.

Marcos e-mailed me back, he said 300.00 for the one bezel and 500.00 for two,(2). Not bad at all considering the damage. It will be some time until I can afford that, lost my part time "gig".
