He's the only one that I'm aware of. It's a specialized thing. What are you wanting to rechrome? Custom Cab dash bezels are now reproduced by Carpenter.

I would love to see a reproduction piece side by side with one of Mr. G's rechromed originals...sort of a blind fold taste test...so to speak...and see who could figure out which is which...if they could.

Had 'quality mustang' located in Texas, rechome the custom cab speedo in my 65 and was pleased with the outcome. Prior to that I had contacted both shops and got an automated answering machine with Mr. G, and spoke with the owner of Quality Mustang and pretty much based my decision on that. May want to try a search and narrow search field to this forum 61-66, topic has come on another occasion. If recall, couple members used Mr. G with any luck you can find the thread and see what they had to say, if memory serves me, and at my age most often not, the comments were favorable. Came across another source, either in a FTE thread, or an article in Classic Truck Mag., can't remember which,' king of chrome', not familiar with them.

If you don't mind me asking what did your plater charge you for the bezel?
