Don's east coast restoration on Long Island did a lot of my 67 RS/SS stainless. They did a great job. Not cheap though.

Pretty simple to do yourself with $30 worth of compound and buffing wheels. Seriously!

I second the "do it yourself" take a scrap piece and follow some of the online tutorials, and you will be amazed!

I agree, but...only if the originals are very nice..any dents or metal straightening, thats a different story..polishing is the easy part

I have done it myself I have all the buffing wheels and compound, its not real hard to do your self. I have worked out some dents myself with great results. I may be able to help you out with what you want done PM me the details and contact info.

I did mine on a 1" X 8" buffer on a grinder motor, and they looked pretty darned nice. Then I redid them on a professional buffer with 2" X 12" wheels. I met a local hobbyist with a professional set-up, and traded a new set of sisal and cotton wheels for use of his equipment. Took me an additional 20 hours to do it, but oh my, what a difference!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. Between working and trying to get this car back together I am never going to get done unless I send some of this stuff out to be done by someone else. I have used Dennis Barnett and would be happy to have him do it but he is backed up with work at the moment. The trim is pretty nice but it will need more than polishing in a couple of spots
