Description

Concours-Restored. All dash bezels are repaired (broken studs repaired, cracks repaired) and then vacuum plated as originally done in 1968. This is NOT PAINTED chrome. After the unit has been vacuum plated, the correct low gloss black is then applied. Includes yellow zinc coated studs and yellow zinc coated speed nuts of the same diameter as originals but more durable.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEZEL: Concours Restored-All Instrument cluster bezels are repaired if needed, then vacuum plated. After the unit has been vacuum plated the correct low gloss black is then applied. The gauge lenses have been polished (all lettering and numbering re-painted) and installed. Lens centers are also vacuum plated.
An NPD exclusive!
The Side Panel And Instrument Bezel are sold as a set only.
Note core charge. Your restorable cores (as a requirement for core credit) are needed back to keep this cycle going for the next Cougar restorer!
What is vacuum plating / metalizing??
Vacuum Metalizingis the process of evaporating metals (most commonly aluminum) inside avacuumchamber which then bonds to the desired substrate to achieve a uniform metalized layer. Itis the most common process used for achromelook on plastic. This is the same process that was originally used to chrome plate plastic parts by Mercury.
As these are restored originals they are not always perfect. The clear lenses especially are subject to blemishes too deep to be polished out. This is considered normal for this part and a result of having to use the best available used lenses to be restored.

** Do not return your core to NPD! All claims for core credit are handled directly through Critter Creek in Canada. A rebuildable core must be sent to them for processing. Critter Creek will give us a thumbs up or down to issue a core credit. **
