Since the trim is stainless, if the scratches are very deep they will be difficult to get out. I recommend watching several YouTube videos on polishing stainless and using the sanding process if needed, but be prepared, it is a process!
You will need a bench type polishing wheel that operates...
i agree, Instrument Specialties is the best. You can also buy the parts and do your own repairs if you want to save some money and time. Thy also have resources on their website to help you diagnose, repair, and calibrate! Great people to deal with.
Tom Hoover at Hoover Auto Parts has OE correct parts. I bought all of the throttle brackets for my 340 from him along with several other hard to find parts. Parts were exact OE correct and top quality. Great service and reasonably priced! Link below:

I would certainly check all of the VIN numbers on the car with the VIN on the tag. Radiator support, cowl, deck lid rail, etc. that should tell you if the car is complete or has been pieced together. Either way it's going to be a nice driver!
Good luck!
Not so! The collapsibility of the column stays in tact when you use the Borgeson joint as prescribed. The cut is made below the teflon pins and keeps the safety feature of the column shaft in tact. It only takes about 3 inches off of the shaft end.

I used a Borgeson unit on my challenger and it's a very easy installation if you bought the joint!
Simply set your column in place through the firewall and with the joint attached to the Borgeson gear, match it up and mark your shaft. Cut the shaft to the proper length for the new connecting...
I was thinking that the last one I added had a template molded into the rear of the door panelwhere the control mounts.
Don't forget to use the backing clip as well!
Mine had been hacked out like that when I got it! I had to get a new one from AMD and replace it. Fortunately I had to replace the floor pan too so it wasn't that big of deal!
I used Accurate Exhaust complete OE correct system on my Challenger. Exact fit complete with oe correct numbers on mufflers and resonators. Shipped right to the shop ready to install. Very happy with the results.
Hagerty is my 1st choice because of their roadside assistance feature, but I know several people that use Grundy with no problems and they are a little cheaper.
