----Gordon Duda is the whole package. He's done so much repair and polishing for me in the past. Never even a mark on anything he fixes. I 1st thought I would keep him a secret, but didn't know how many really high end classics he has done. Anybody who wants to see his work can take a good look at Jake's gorgeous 62 409 at MCACN!....Bill S

Which of these various recommendations also does aluminum reanodizing? Or farms out the reanodizing but will stand behind it if the anodizing is not up to snuff (since they chose their anodizer, aka a "subcontractor")?

There is one well know guy doing this work (not recommended by anyone in this thread, understandably) who whines to no end if you tell him one of his reanodized parts is too dull or "milky" colored, and then he blames the anodizer that he selected and says it's not his fault and there's nothing he can do about it. Took me over 2 years to get a part corrected by him; and several years later he's still complaining about me making him stand behind his work (that I paid a handsome sum for in the first place).

And to make matters worse, during the course of that debate he let it slip that he sent his own personal parts back to that anodizer to redo because of the same issue. So when it is his personal part, he can get the part redone without a fuss. But if it's his paying customer, there's nothing he can do about it!

So needless to say we are looking for a better option!

Was unaware there was someone offering this service. I'm doing a 70 Trans Am also and would love to find someone that would repair the original aluminum trim and clear anodize it.

Same as Bergey, Bruce Dell in OH has done all the trim on our 68 & 69 and have personally seen work he's restored that amazed me. And Bruce is one great person to deal with.
