You inquired about the plating, asking if you should do chrome instead of silver. The choice would be between chrome and nickel (not silver), with nickel being the correct choice if you want to remain authentic. Nickel has quite a different lustre than chrome and at least in my opinion these earlier cars look far better with nickel trim than with chrome. Cost is about the same to have it redone as nickel is the layer that underlays chromium in bright chrome plating.

Keep us posted on your progress, love the car.
