Re: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Passenger Floor Aluminum Trim

I sanded off the anodized coating and scratches on my carpet strips and heal pads using a pad sander using different grits until smooth, then I buffed them to a bright shine and then used 0000 steel wool rubbing only in the long direction of the strips to make then look similar to the original console trim. I try not to step on them to avoid scratches and put a carpet floor mat upside down over the drivers heel pads not to scratch and remove for show. I occasionally use steel wool to bring them back.

I would get those chromed instead as they won't scratch anymore. Anodizing scratches quite easily. That's what I did with the mouldings on the console of my 300H.

Those pieces are aluminum but they are extrusions which have been polished, brite dipped, and hard anodized. They cannot be polished again unless the anodizing is removed first. Mine are much better than yours appear to be but I would like to improve them so I am trying to locate a company near me in FL. that will do it . No luck so far. Found companies but they haven't returned my calls.

You could do a google search for companies that do Anodizing in your area and p[ost what you find.

Hello 300ers -

I set out to complete my final interior restoration task earlier today and discovered that the passenger polished aluminum floor trim is corroded and likely beyond repair.

Does anyone happen to have a set in restorable condition for the passenger side (front and rear) of a 1962 300H?

Pictures are attached.

Thanks!

Kurt
