[T3] Barrett-Jackson just sold a $78K notchback!

[Thomas Beisner]

Check Queen City Plating in Mukilteo.  Pricey but does pristine work.  I
had several Vanagon door handles chrome plated (taken apart as you noted)
and they were perfect.

Looks like they might be temporarily closed (I Googled them just now) but
worth a call.
