Chachos 49 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Are the side trim moldings and front grill aluminum? Should they be polished or chromed out? 1949 Plymouth special deluxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Should be either polished stainless steel and/or chromed stamped steel........I'd be surprised if there is much, if any aluminium, apart from diecast which is a zinc alloy..........andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 stainless.....not chrome.....you can polish these yourself....you can send them to be polished...would be a total waste to chrome these....process and price would be off the chart....I would suggest a bit of DIY here.

50mech Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) All of the straight line pieces are stainless and can be polished out as well as the piece on the front of the rear fender and gas cap guard. bumper, hood ornament, emblems and lighting bezels are chromed. Grill I actually can't recall but I think it's chromed as well. Edited July 10, 2020 by 50mech 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
