PG Classics Dash Bezel - just received from China!

thank you for the link to GCAR the plastic chrome restoration guys.

their work looks very nice on the website. however, they want $435.00 to restore a 67-69 dash bezel and $95.00 to do the glove box piece. if you figure shipping of your old piece to them and then shipping back, you're getting close to the $599.00 PGClassic is selling the reproduction unit for which includes the glove box piece. now, the advantage to the GCAR route would be that you have a brand new OEM "Mopar" dash bezel and not the chinese reproduction.

has anyone compared the quality of restoration of a GCAR barracuda bezel to a new one from one of the vendors? that would be a bit of information that would be of interest to me.

word on the street back then was that there were figment issues with the aftermarket units. Even back when BE&A was the only one reproducing them, they were not a very good fit. I believe PG bought out BE&A and the tooling for this, but I don’t know if it’s been improved since them. I do believe that the PG bezel doesn’t come with the lenses, and they are another $195.

The reason I went with GCAR was because I had a nice uncut bezel which needed no work. I also wanted my pillar post mouldings rechromed and nobody did those but Glen. He polished my lenses for free, and also included the red and green lenses for free as well. I couldn’t say no to that, and I’m happy with his workmanship, and the correspondence was great. The lead time was long, but I planned ahead and had other assemblies to work on in the meantime. My complete dash redo can be found here in the Rani, I’ma Callin’ You Out thread.
