Any idea how to make the faded chrome on the light switch, wiper switch, knobs, etc. look better on my '72? I can't find this stuff repro, so I guess I'll need to paint it or something ????

Thanks!

Try rubbing it with aluminum foil. It should take off most of the surface rust and leave only slight pitting if the surface isn't too far gone. Good luck!

These are all the chromed plastic pieces. They really don't have rust, the chrome is all faded. Anyone?

If they are worth saving, these guys rechrome plastic pieces. http://www.autoinstruments.com

They just did some stuff for me and they turned out great.

They did my A/C vents on the '67. If I remember correctly, somewhere in the area of $60 ea. Be prepared to wait about 4 or 5 weeks.
