[Chrysler300] rechroming & Chrysler300] Sill Plate

[christopher beilby <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chrome plating generally can be real troublesome if things go wrong - and it can be as simple as a plater who always does excellent work, is recommended by others, has his polisher go on annual holidays at a time when the plater is too busy, and so the plater uses/hires temporarily, a polisher who he does not really know re how good he is.

 

And the plater and unfortunate customer find out he not too good, only when he has ruined your/others jobs.

And then there are the plain bad ones - hacks, wreckers. A young guy I know worked for a time for one of these, finally quit despite dating his boss daughter who was a stunner, as he got scared by repeated bikie customers coming in after his boss had wrecked their parts - he told me he knew whenever they were there, by hearing right through the factory walls into his polishing area, and noise of his machine, as his boss in his office was being bashed/beaten by them.

He got scared they might think it was he he ruined/dissolved their parts, so he quit before they beat him up. I am not a bikie, but 15 years ago that 20 years 'experienced' plater ruined a few 300C parts of mine, so maybe there is karma, justice eventually. Anybody got a good 300C rear bumper top filler piece?! - I still could do with a good one after he so warped a near mint one buffing it so hard/long, it stretched, rollercoastered, it's flatness, the full length of metal piece that sits atop rear bar on 300Cs/Ds.

 

If the Plater's polisher is good, excellent, you have as hope of good work. And if the plater still uses copper (which you should insist one), then you have a chance the job if good might last a fair while.

 

my thoughts from downunder - anyone wish to guess what the maybe World's owest miles '57 Chrysler New Yorker Convert will make at the coming '57 Heaven Auction??!!

Subject: [Chrysler300] Sill Plate

  



I sent my sill plates to Sihilling Plating for anodizing 6 or 8 months ago
and a set was returned 6-7 weeks later. I opened them up and found them very
shiny (more so than I expected) but I was OK with that. 

Now that I am ready to install them, I find that they don't fit. In looking
more closely, I realize they are the wrong sill plates!

I am working with Sihilling to determine if they belong to someone else or
whether I sent them the wrong set (although the 300F sill plates are the
only ones I have ever had for a 300) and I am trying to learn what 300 these
fit. I have uploaded a picture to the link below so that, hopefully, someone
can tell me what car these were designed for. If you go to the link, on the
left side, select "download this albumn", and you will be sent a zip file.
Open the zip file (you don't have to buy the WinZip program-just close it)
and you will have a picture of a beautifully finished "300" sill plate of
unknown origin. Any help would be appreciated as to which Chrysler 300 this
would fit.

Thanks for your help. By the way, the exhaust system has been installed and
it is going to the convertible top shop in a week or so. At least I am
getting closer!!!
