    Ray Azcue @ quality mustangs. His work is fantastic. He did all the dash pieces on my 68 and applied new woodgrain. Heck of a nice guy as well. Be careful of some companies out there as they will send you exchange parts. I'm funny about this but I prefer the parts that my car came with.

    True, I delt with a company out of Texas for my vacuum metalizing as they call it. Got a bunch of exchange parts not done very well. Plus they were jerks about it.

    I can also highly recommend Ray at Quality Mustangs. He did an outstanding job on my 67 Shelby's aluminum pieces & Dash bezel. He is also a great guy to deal with & my interior looks awesome thanks to him!!! Good luck with your car. David

    Not only can Ray Azque replate the plastic, he can refinish the aluminum, and also fix any broken plastic studs.
    He did the dash of my SAAC 29 Div II Concours winning 67 GT 350

    I delt with a company in Texas was led to believe that they would recrome my parts .I got back some already chromed pices not mine and was not that good of a job.Called to complain and they were jerks said Iwould need to pay to ship back and they would determin the quality.so watch out:thumbdown

    i had a similar experience with the company in texas...i think they're called "mr g's"....don't use them!!!!when i'd call to find out when my parts would be done, they would put me on hold and the owner would pick up and proceed to tell me how busy they were, and i'd get my stuff whe it was done....once he told me to stop calling!!! hard to believe, but true.

    I finally did send all my stuff over to Ray, thanks to your recommendations. He is definitely the most expensive, but his quality was very good--especially the restoration work he did on my aluminum. Looks Like I have a brand new interior now. I give him my recommendation as well.

    thx
