Isn't forum member DUB in that area ?
I don't know if he works on C1s though - might PM him...

You COULD tackle it yourself of course, I did my '61 and it turned out fine...

You might try contacting someone from the Eastern Carolina Corvette Club in Wilson.
Their president is Buster Dawson. His email address in on their website - http://www.ecccvettes.com/officers.html

I just did all of this to my 1960. If I can tackle the pad anyone can trust me. I sent my chrome out to Pauls Chrome. It took about 10 weeks to get it back. Good luck!

Has anyone tried the repo windshield post ?
Thinking this way would cut out turn around time waiting for the re-chrome ?

I see they are selling the entire windshield assy now also , maybe buy a new assy and then sell my old original since I new new glass and chrome ?
