Has anyone had the windshield surround (frame) for a TR3 chrome plated?
Frame is straight and complete. Stripped of all non-metal materials. I
guess the threads for the top pegs will need to be re-done. May have two
frames to do. One for hard top; one not. (can't make up my mind)
I'd like to find out how much and suggested suppliers.
Is there a '3 owner in Providence or E. Providence that could go by and get
an estimate? Or anywhere else. I have heard that there is a good shop in
SE Florida (Miami or Palm Beach area).
