Are these trim pieces salvageable?

Cleaning out the garage and found these targa trim pieces. Bought them from the classifieds here and was disappointed with them and forgot about them. If they can be fixed and chromed I would do that and use them on my targa. If not they will probably go to the trash.

Your metal polish of choice and buffer wheel on your bench grinder would probably work wonders on these.

I’m mostly concerned with what looks like someone went crazy with a sawzall chopping up the donor car and cut into the brass. Can that be filled and then replated?

If they are not bent, then they are salvageable

That cut can be brazed, metal finished, and rechromed. As MBAtarga said, Shaun @ Tru6 is the guy.

Yeah I got in contact with Shaun, he said they were fixable but most likely cost prohibitive.
