Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Door handles

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Don't waste your time new handles are still available from Das Mopar and
most AMC venders and probably way cheaper than having the originals
re-chrome'd. When a part is re-chrome'd it is chemically stripped of the
old chrome, nickel, and the copper base so sanding would be a waste of
time. On the tail light bezels after the chrome is chemically removed
the chrome shop might be able to polish out the pits or use more than
one layer of copper and then polish it out again to fill in the pits and
them chrome them, expensive. On the plastic lenses use a good quality
motor cycle windshield plexi-glass scratch remover then a polish. Good
luck on the rear bumper most of them the corners are rotted out. A
Hornet rear bumper from 74-77 and a rear bumper from a 78 Concord are
the same as your Gremlin.

Hello guys. I see some of you are around today. I've got a couple resto questions for ya. If I carefully remove the spring from my Gremmie door handles will the pin easilly slide out? Have extra set but they need work. I'm thinkin I should sand them smooth and send em to the chrome shop.  Also how does one go about restoren the chrome in the tail lights. Lenses are great but chrome is pitting. also need to put shine back on the marker lights on the sides in the rear.  The car is a 74..  Decided I'd better get busy or winter will be gone. One more thing for now, I am in need of a good quality rear bumper  Thanks to anyone who can help.  Paul
