Those sold were NOS or restored and some were reproduction. Others here, recently, have reported being really disappointed with the reproduction pieces. If you decide to pass on that one, PM me and I'll buy it. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,060 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,060 | Buy it quick and hurry home.

Also get a good close look at rust and pitting. Too pitted and can,t be rechromed. I think I recall jim carters now has repos for sale. There are also the trim pieces. Some come with them some don,t. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 116 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 116 | The good thing about mine it it's a 1942 built in Jan of 42. It's grill was painted not chromed. Lucky me. There are still traces of the paint on it's current grill but it's banged up and broken pretty bad. Beyond fixing. Thanks for the input guys!
