There's going to be a time this summer when this 13 year project wraps up and this old hardtop hits the road.
The probelm is at end of a project the budget is shot and I have to make a few compromises.
I have all the grill pieces, but the rechrome bill on the pot metal is too much. And I have already nixed the idea of filling and painting the grill. Terrible chrome is still better than a painted grill.
So basically I'm putting the feelers out there to the Stude community to see who has any serviceable grill pieces for sale. I touched base with a few vendors, but maybe the forum can turn up something for me.
By serviceable I mean something not too pitted that will take some shine. You can see by these pictures, almost anything would be better than what I have. My top bar is so bad it's turned green and even steel wool won't remove it. (I do have 1 good piece, the passenger side end cap.)
