I know they are expensive.
Thank you in advance!

You will be better off to have your orig. grille chromed. Or hit the swap meets and hopefully get lucky.............
Good luck,

Ihave a repro grill settin here for 52 ....it looks great now ...but ..im not to sure how it will hold up ..If yours is at all savable ..for round the same price or even a few $ more ? ...go that way. make some calls to the chromin guy . | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 92 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 92 | That's what I plan on doing.
Currently my grill, headlight trim and bumpers are all painted white. I'll eventually find a local chrome guy to fix minor dings and chrome everything.

Bill | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 31 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 31 | I just got a quote from Bumper Boyz out of California. They want $1,000 for an original 57 grill totally restored with new triple plating chrome. If I had a core they would have given me $150 off. Does anyone know about these guys?
Thanks, David | | |
