Re: [Chrysler300] 1961 300G Dash Garnish repros

["KELLY PIERCE" <jkrestor300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Group-
  If memory serves me the 60-64 2dr and convertibles use the same sill
plates, and I know I would like to get at least two or more sets to replace
the 40 year old sets I have. Snow country is hard on them- Kicking the snow
off your shoes when you get in really beats them up as well as a "stray"
seat belt slammed in the door a few times....If the price for repo sill
plates isn't more than I paid for a couple of my cars I'd be very interested
in buying new ones. We get calls for these at least once a week, and they
are getting scarce, good, bad or ugly!

While I was having the machine shop working on the Heel Pad Frames I had him
look into reproducing the garnish on my dash board. For those of you that
don't know what I am talking about it is the aluminum trim behind the
headlight
switch , ignition switch, radio and is matched by the face of the clock. It
has
lettering such as "lights" Etc. Mine was scratched especially around the
ignition switch. I was lucky enough to find probably the last NOS pieces in
existance and it made a real difference. The only problem is installation
since you
have to take everything apart to be able to change it out. I want to get a
feel
for how many of you may be interested. Due to the complicated process of
etching and printing they won't be cheap. I paid $550 for my set and
probably only
those of you with "show quality" cars would be interested. If the price can
be around what I paid should I go any further? I will be also looking into
having the aluminum door sills reproduced.
