    Hey guys I need a pass. side window glass for my GT. Looking for a nice unscratched glass. Also anybody have the rear vent window chrome at quarters removed (they look like a hockey stick). Being lazy, is there anymore screws besides the one at top keeping it in place? Want to send them out for rechroming. Live in DE. will drive as far as 100 miles

    I would have the side windows. Email me DIRECTLY (see below) if I can help.

    There is a nut on a post on the underside of the boomerang chrome. You can access that nut from inside the trunk. Remove it, and the phillips screw you describe, wiggle the trim and it should come right off. The bottom post has some "sealant" around it from the factory, so you might have to "wiggle" it quite a bit.

    Good luck on the rechroming the boomerangs, last time I looked into it they were $150.00 each! they don't like to rechrome pot metal and if it's pitted most won't.

    GDM Custom Metal in Philadelphia. They do lots of pot metal. Just talked to him this week, and its easier for him to handle than the bumpers. Quoted me $75.00 per

    Fellas,

    Its www.dgmchrome.com . (NOT GDM). They are loacted in philly. TriCity has my front bumper, as they do not do pot metal.

    My friend used GDM on his 65 GTO and all came out beautiful.

    Have a good one, Michael
