How much to have grille chromed?

[shaunatk]

Specifically, I am needing a 1946 GMC grille chromed, but figured the cost isn't much different than a 47~59.

There is a lot more traffic to this section of the board than the pre-47 section.

Reason I am asking is because I just lost an auction for a perfectly straight grille on ebay, and it sold for $565! The grille that I have is all bent up, and I don't see how we could get it all straight without having to use filler.

I need to know if going with a chrome grille is going to end up costing me $1500 or not.
