Gauge pod replating
« on: September 30, 2017, 05:32:09 PM »
I just got back the 70 Gauge pods I sent off for replating and painting. They also did some repairs.  I am very happy with the work they did and I got them back in a month.  The cost with shipping back to me was just over $400.  So at this moment I can highly recommend them. Here is the link.

Thanks for the report and feedback. Great to have a recommended business as it takes allot of guessing out of the mix

I also used them for my 72 dash panels and was equally satisfied. Hard to find places doing this anymore and also a place that provides good service.

Thanks for adding the pictures - helps everyone understand that the cost was for both sides.

Yes they did everything.  Very well done in my opinion, I assume they have a template. I can't imagine taping it off.
