I gave up on my 68-B frame, and purchased what probably was the last of Gene Bunces new plated frames. I started out by filling pinholes om my original frame with silver solder, but every time I had the solder ground smooth a new little pinhole would appear, which would have to be re-soldered. Repeated this at least 10 times and sent the frame to the plater. But of course there were 2 microscopic pinholes left that I didn’t detect. But my God how they showed up after plating. I have been advised that if one is is to restore an original frame one should get a good frame from a sedan which was painted and not plated from the start. Frames that were plated from the factory will have such internal corrosion from the plating residues that they are impossible to mend properly. My experience supports that.
