I had to buy a repop (chrome)grille and front fenders for my 51 panel.
I got my stuff from LMC in 2008/9.
The grille looks ok…perhaps a bit thin in the plating here and there; but looks ok.
Turns out the top grille bar was about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch TOO long.
I compared it to the perfectly fitting originally bar to confirm this.
So, the ends had to be "trimmed"…… $600 at the time.
If I had to do it over I'd secure a good original and plate it.
To complicate matters the repop grille combined with the repop front fenders
was a nightmare in final fitting.
Anytime off shore reproduction parts are used we have to be prepared to cut,trim,
grind, elongate holes, and buy bags full of body shims!
my 2 cents
