C2 vent frame restoration

[Neal K.]

I don't know if this is the right venue to do this so please excuse me if I am making an errorby posting this here.
I would like to share a positive experience I resently had with Charlie Santorelli "Stingrey Charlie". Charlie was recommended to me by another NCRS member to do vent frame restoration. I just got my restored frames back from Charlie and I can't decide whether to frame them or reinstall them in my car. His work was outstanding as was his personal service.
I have no hesitation in recommending Charlie to anyone who is thinking of having their vent frame restored.

Neal,
Hi, this post might be equally inappropriate, but can you tell us what he did and how much it cost you? Pictures before and after would be awesome.
Thank you,
George

George,
I prefer not to discuss money. I did not take before pictures but would describe the old frames, vent windows, tracks, weatherstriping and regulators as very tired and in need of a redo. One of the frames had some minor pitting. The frames were rechromed, all weatherstripping removed and new weatherstripping installed. The windows were taken out of the window frames, the frames polished and the glass reinstalled in the frames. The forward door window track was replated and new material installed in the track. The vent regulators were cleaned up and tested. The finished product looks spectacular---factory new. I will try to remember to take a picture or two tomorrow and post them.
