Dave,
I picked up the grille and headlight doors Monday. Couldn't be more pleased. 
Actually looks brighter than most chrome. Just under $170.00 for the job. Of 
course, I had already de-anodized everything and the parts were straight. 
Tuesday, I followed the polisher/plater's advice and clear coated everything to 
prevent tarnishing and protect the parts. They have also done some chroming for 
me lately. All nice work and decent prices. Today's goal is to get the black 
done. Picked up stainless oval head screws at Lowe's for the installation.
 Get America back to work.
Buy American.
Hire American.

Hi John, 
Just reading over your reply on your ’65 Coronet. Sounds ‘really’ nice. Sedan, 
hardtop, color? I also read over Steve’s description on what he’s doin’ to his 
’64 Dodge 440. You two guys are really getting me all hipped-up here! Like 
Steve, I too am in a restoration mode on a ’64 Dodge 440 2dr hardtop. Being a 
factory 383 four-speed car, I’ve been planning on keeping it stock…but…man it’s 
tempting! 

You mention thoughts on period steelies for your ‘65; may I offer a gentlemanly 
nudge in favor of the steelies? Way cool! Maybe even some poverty caps? Nice!
And would you let us know your level of satisfaction when your stock grill comes 
home? I’m debating whether to send out my SS trim and grill or do it myself. 

In the snow belt of Eastern PA and also retired.
