The glass was polished using a Porter-Cable random-orbital polisher and a felt pad with rhodite abrasive.
Below are the original vent window handles after being rechromed.
All of the newly chrome plated vent window components for the left window are shown below. The mounting frame was chrome plated because it was easier to plate the entire assembly rather than just the attached pivot.
The steel components were chrome plated by Tri-City Plating in Elizabethton, TN
The handles and pivot sockets were plated by R & D Finishing also in Elizabethton, TN
The next project is to reassemble these vent window components with the new division bars and rubber pieces.
