Taillight bar removal
« on: June 09, 2016, 09:23:06 AM »
Is it possible to remove/replace the curved bar in the taillights without removing the taillight assembly from the car?  I found a decent one and had it re-chromed at a place that does pot metal repair and it turned out PERFECT.  Now I just need to swap it in place of the one I had chromed years ago by a place that did not fill the pits first.

Brian,

Can you share which company did the perfect pot metal rechroming?

Thanks,

Chuck
