You can straighten them with a little patience. You can also repaint, or strip and repaint the flat black. Note that the Cruiser and Daytona pieces are identical but for what areas are painted. I replaced a piece on my Cruiser with one from a Daytona by changing the paint pattern and it has held up well.

Hmm. I'm not worried about the paint, that's easy to redo. I just wondered about restoring the metal. If Matthew can't, probably no one can!
I guess when the time comes I'll have to clean up and assess each piece and look for replacements as needed.Proud NON-CASO

Those wide mouldings for the '64 and '65 Daytona and Cruisers are clear anodized aluminum. Any damage or repair that breaks through the .0003" depth of anodizing leaves them open to corrosion.
SI has NOS mouldings available for your car.R2Andrea

I went and took a closer look at the pieces. The only real damage is a metal screw at the tip of both front pieces. I can live with that, but as you say the anodizing has lots of little scratches and is worn off in large stretches.
I did do a little looking online and found this place. Interesting but probably pricey:

That's a thought. First order of business will be to keep my eye open for better replacements. There's no time frame, and when I do get to it it's going to be a driver resto, so I'll ave to limit what I put in. Who knows, maybe somebody'll buy it before I can do anything to it. Currently my fun is gathering pieces for the cars I've got here already. We'll see though...Proud NON-CASO
