I had mine all repaired and polished by Chuck and Karen at CK Auto Restorations (aka solidaxle on the forum here).

I have an extra set of the trim that goes around the driver and passenger seat, all polished up and ready to go. If anyone is interested let me know.

Here is the stuff they cleaned up and polished for me.....very nice job, would reccommend their services to anyone.





they also did my fender spears as well as my cove moldings.






good luck.....they are fun cars to put together, but one word of advice, these cars were never made perfect to begin with and as you try to put them back together and make them perfect, it will drive you nuts as some things just can't be made to be perfect.......these old Corvettes are one of those things.....

regards, Herb

The seat surround, side cove moulding and piece across the top of the windshield area all stainless. Headlight rings, bumpers, bumper "eye brows", grill , and windshield post (both on door and winshield) are chrome.

All Corvette stainless trim was originally polished and flash-chromed.
