Q : Can the classic Mac Pro’s aluminum chassis be repaired ?
A : Nope . Due to the physical characteristics of the metal and its finish, it is impractical to repair the dents , gouges , separations and scratches on a chassis . That’s why we have a grade system for these chassis . Upon request , we can send you actual high resolution photos of the product’s chassis before purchase .
