Vacuum orna-metal rechromed my thumbwheel dials

[haywire 440]

On 11-14-19 after getting a quote on the price to re-chrome two 8-track thumbwheel dials I sent these off. On 12-19-19 they returned all done. I’m really liking what I see. After reading other post on this site, c-bodies and probably a&e bodies I remember someone mentioning Frank at this company. I emailed photos to him and got a price which was more to my liking than others. I won’t go into details on that because it’s their business. Sorry. But I can tell you this was a very good transaction in my opinion. There was excellent communication and they do other parts too. This company is located in Romulus, Michigan. The photos are before and after. And no, I have no affiliation. Haywire 440

The wife’s 1963 Dart 270 convertible. Being a ragtop the dash has to look immaculate

Frank did my dash bezel and trim for my bee and did an outstanding job!

Frank did my 64 belvedere and my 69 Dart. Both are immaculate and he is a man of his word. Reasonably priced and a decent turnaround.

I could be wrong but I believe Frank at Orna-Metal died about a year or so ago.
Not sure who the contact is there now.

Sorry to hear that about Frank. He was one of the good guys. Hope there is some one there that will continue to do the nice work they are noted for.

His family has taken over the business. I had something done about the time he was in hospice. The communication was terrible without him but there was a lot going on with the family at that time. I’m hoping someone has had recent experience and that has gotten better.
