But.. There are lots of places that do anodizing of new parts, but many won't touch used parts which they refer to as "reclaimed" work... I have two places I send new parts to that I've machined, neither will touch reclaimed work..
Yup, Mike did beautiful work, his Argent was spot on, he had his own tanks for brite dip anodizing so he controlled to process & he was **** about quality... Not cheap but you did get what you were paying for...
King of Trim has turned out some beautiful work.... And some stuff I sure wouldn't...
King of trim didn't do Argent... Your thinking of All Trim... He closed up years ago.... I knew a guy who did sublet polishing for him...
King of Trim is LA based...
All Trim was Seattle based...
If that's true it's a shame... I know Norm is getting older like all of us... But I hadn't heard he was closing up... But I haven't done any business with him since before the pandemic so....
King of Trim has a reputation of being hit or miss... To many employees doing the work & not enough QC...

Which is why spraying body cavity wax into the area is a good idea... It seals out air and moisture preventing any rust that's already there from getting any worse...
Pretty much what I suggested....Except I added body cavity wax to slow down any thing growing and I suggested buying & storing quarter panels since they appear to be going away so if he needs them in ten years he's got them & if he doesn't need them, they could be worth enough by then to pay for...
Nice 68!! As R413 said, when the time comes you cut out rust till there isn't any more... If your storing the car in a dry environment it'll take a long time to get worse.... If it's damp it'll get worse surprisingly quickly....
Flood the back side of the panel with body wax, it'll slow the...
