[FWDLK] power window 4-way chrome bezel used on all '57-'59 models

Does anyone know if this bezel project is dead or alive?  I'd buy one
Thanks

Hi John,
 
The project is not really dead, but not very alive either.
I got as far as to make a detailed drawing of the bezel (see file) in order to sent it to a small volume brass foundry that was interested in my project.
But as I only had people interested in 13 of them, the repro run did not seem worth it ...
Furthermore, as I lacked time to find less expensive solutions to make the repro run, it stalled there.
 
Maybe I'll reactivate this project this summer, when I'll have some time for it.
In the meantime, I added your name and Brent Burger to the list.
If other people are interested (besides those who answered me in the first place), please let me know ...

    Thanks, Vincent.

 

    This piques my interest ( a bit prematurely, perhaps ?) as to what else is being reproduced that would be relevant to my 58 DeSoto ?

 

    I this project has been dormant for some time now, but is slowly coming to life again as I whittle down the last of the other things I need to do before building my shop.  The shop will be dedicated to restoring my cars, the DeSoto being the No.1 Priority. 

 

    Recently, Lee Exline posted pix of quarter skins being re-popped for the 300 club.  This was a total surprise to me, but like I said, I have been letting this "sleeping dog" lie for some time now and am out of touch.

 

    Are there any other typically "problem" parts for these cars being made that I should know about ?

 

    Thanks in advance,

 

    Brent

Hi everyone,
I'm considering making a reproduction run of the power window 4-way chrome
bezel used on all '57-'59 models, and I would like to know who would be
interested (the price is not known yet).

Thanks.
