    I hate to even post this because i am a die hard Ford man. My dad is building a 54 2 door Bel air, with a 302 Ford none the less. He had a local chrome plating business plate some parts for his dash and they said anything pot metal is hard to plate and most of the time too costly to restore. My question is, he needs tail light bezels but he is worried about the quality of the chrome on aftermarket bezels. Has anyone had any experience with repop bezels good or bad and where is the best place to get them.Thanks

    Well I have no idea on the quality of the repops, but yes I restore pot metal, and it can be expensive to do correctly.
