    C2: Another 4-speed console question

    I sent out the 4-speed console from my '66 for replating yesterday and I did not remove the riveted-on aluminum frame on the back side that holds the plastic guides at the sides of the ash tray door. Will the presence of this aluminum frame be a problem for the replaters when they strip off the old paint and chrome and rechrome? Or will the aluminum frame go along for the ride happily and intact during the de-chromng and re-chroming?

    Thanks,

    Gary

    Gary,

    I can't speak for your plater, but when I sent my 65 console out for re-chroming (in 1990), it came back just fine, with the ash tray door slides intact. I can't recall now, but I think all I did to prep that area was to remove the nylon slide liners and replace with new ones.

      Thanks Grant. I already did remove the door and the plastic slides and I didn't really want to remove the underside frame since that would require grinding off the rivet like things.

        Can you share with us what platers you guys sent your consoles to? How much? Mine has a hairline crack on the drivers side visible when entering car. Thanks Dick Gutman
