IML: '68 Bronze Trim

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To follow up, I called Outwater  http://www.outwater.com/  to see if they 
still carry their line of "Nu-Metal" products. These are plastic laminates 
with a foil overlay. Their website no longer lists this product, but they 
say that their site isn't complete and they do still supply it. I think this 
is the product that most closely resembles the '68 bronze trim. I think they 
also sell finished sheets of bronze and copper, etc. I recommend ordering 
their 1000 page catalogue http://www2.archpro.com/cgi-bin/xwcat as it has 
all their product line and relatively good sample pictures. They will send 
out samples, too. These products may also find application as aluminum 
panels for door kick panels and side interior door panel trim on some 
models, and wood veneers for others.

Paul mentioned that I had some ideas for replacement bronze panels for the
'68 cars. Outwater Plastics sells a variety of bulk flat decorative
laminated trim items. I haven't seen a sample, so it is adviseable to
compare. Their website for the trim is at
http://www.outwater.com/catalog04/outwater/opi029.htm and
http://www.outwater.com/catalog04/outwater/opi030.htm
Of course, see Dale Anderson's bronze restoration guide link on the website,

Outwater sells a bunch of nifty stuff, like formable mdf board, edgebanding,
wood and metalicized veneers, etc., fun site to wonder around in for the
craftily minded.
