Re: 67 GMC Grille - Repop OR Rechrome?

I have a repop on my 71 GMC and I happened across a NOS GMC grill (at great expense)
You cannot tell the two apart...if you held them side by side you would see some differences, part numbers for one etc. But the repops look every bit as good and seem just as sturdy.
Fit wasn't perfect, far from it...but since the front clip was a mish mash of repop parts it was hard to know where to lay the blame. In the end the bodyman made it all fit together far better than stock, it looks fantastic and the gaps are fine.
THAT BEING SAID!...it may get rusty quickly, as repop is wont to do. I'll let you know. BTW shouldn't we call it "repro"? Hmmmmm.
