Has anyone rechromed outside door handles? Is it possible?
I think it would be easy to drill out the hinge rivet and reinstall a new one after chrome. |

There are reproduction ones available I think. I'm not sure of the quality though. I remember Chappy saying he purchased several sets to get nice ones.
I'm sure you can re-chrome them. |

I was going to have mine powder-coated black. I'm sure you can re-chrome just about anything though.

I'm sure you can re-chrome them. There were reporduction flappers being sold by AA but they were junk. Weren't even the right size. Pelican stopped selling them because of the quality problems. |

I bought nice repros from Parts Heaven for $124 each.
I dont think you could get them chromed cheaper than that. In California, most chromers are out of business anyways... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
