Looking good!
I am excited to see what color scheme you decide to go with.

I've restored some plastic before and the best way I found was to soak the item in Hydrogen Peroxide set in direct sunlight and a warm place. It will take several hours but does the trick. If the chime plastic is very brittle however, I don't think I would do this...

I would think you would need to get those nails flush or even countersunk. I would find a suitable spacer and tighten the nuts on the backside slowly pulling the nail into the wood. You could remove them and then try to use a drill bit to create a counter sink area as well. they should tap out fairly easy... Easy for me to say!
