Is there a way for the novice restorer to touch up or restore the silvering on the dash trim pieces? Over the years it has been worn off from cleaning and age. Does anyone know what color of silver should be used? Thanks in advance. Lee

That stuff is chrome plated plastic, that they then put the plastic wood veneer and paint on top of. There are rechromers out there, but I can't name any off hand. Good luck.

Hey Lee, Sometime ago I built a 69 Chevy pickemup truck. I had the dash rechromed, it looked fantastic when done. If you want them right, get a pro to do it.

Hey Kate, wasn't it Jerold Ford who had a dog named Liberty? Or was that Chevy Chase? Could be a "Ford" Liberty or "Chevy" Liberty? ROL=Role Over Liberty ;-)
Yeah I remember that. THat was a really nice truck until she rearended someone because of the glare shining off the dash....
Hey Lee, If you come up with good results, be sure to put a clear coat on it, to keep it from scuffing when you wipe the dust off of it.
