Armrest Base , front door
Loren At 65GS:
As many know, the armrest base for 1964- 1967 Skylark and Gran Sport hardtop and convertible body styles are almost unobtanium. That said, I'm looking into the process to remake them and wondering what kind of interest there is.
There were two different pieces made with a small difference in the grab area. I've attached a picture of the two for comparison.
We used to have a source for refinishing originals, but that is no longer available. Has anyone looked into having originals refinished and what have you found for quality and cost?
Keep in mind, this would take considerable time to accomplish.

TrunkMonkey:
You can count me in on a pair.
I contacted two different "metallic vapor deposit" outfits about doing different parts,. explained what they were and what finish and never heard back from either of them. This was last year before the beer flu.
But, I am sure there are places that want the work.
BuickGS65:
DEFINITELY interested.
Some have discussed using https://www.vacuumorna-metal.com/contact-us
I have an NOS pair of bases and an early-take off if a pattern is needed.
This same part number also fit some Oldsmobiles - but I forget that year(s)/model(s).

PS - the "taller" grab areas is superior, agreed?

Count me in for some pairs.
