Master automotive trim restorer and old school car guy, Michael Fraker 10072019
Automotive trim restoration is quickly becoming a lost art. I was lucky enough to find Michael Fraker who as I say in the title is an old school car guy (73 years old) and Master automotive trim restorer. I wanted to make this video to capture a little bit of Michael and his work which made a huge difference on how the restoration of my 1969 Dodge Coronet 4 door turned out. This is especially important for me and anyone else restoring a 4 door because many parts for the 4 door are not the same as for a 2 door car and not readily available for sale. Between the www.forbbodiesonly.com Mopar forum where I was able to find and buy some used parts, and Michael who was able to restore my parts, I managed to get my trim in excellent shape. Michael was able to remove dents, and fix some nasty issues with the wheel opening moldings (one of them actually had a twist in it, I have no idea how Michael was able to fix it).
