I have a 70
Malibu and no one rechromes
this dash as far as I have been able to find they do rechrome SS, but not
Malibu. If I were to
refinish the dash myself how do you refinish the chrome areas on the dash so
it will look really good. I have touched up a few spots with chrome
enamel and it worked ok, but does not give you the shine of chrome, more of a
dull silver.
Any help or advice
would be appreciated.
Best
regards,

Personnally if I had an original I'd use
it over the repop and especially if you want to go original in the
future. Either refinish it yourself (I've seen several excellent
home resto's) or use the $300 cost of the repop dash panel towards
having your spare original professionally done.
I've read of several issues with the
repops that may or may not bother you - depending on how anal you are about
originality - LOL .

I've been off-list for a
lonnnggg time but winters approaching and it's time to fix all the junk that's
wrong with my little red chevelle. For openers, I'm wondering if anyone has
installed one of those repop 1970 SS dashes. I dropped a note to No-Neck but
then I remembered this list LIST!
I've got an original SS but a
DPO put an oil gauge in the dash. I've also got a spiffy replacement (an
original 1970 SS dash) that's perfect but needs rechrome, paint, etc. I'm
thinking about just putting one of those repop numbers in there this winter
and waiting until I've got a little more money to get the good original one
ready.
Does anyone have experience with
these? Do they look pretty good? Do they fit well? All help would be much
appreciated.
