hello,
thinning out my stash again. a few years back i bought best cores i could find from members and had them shipped out to "king of trim" out in socal for restoration. they strip, straighten, polish, re-anobrite, and paint letters. this one needed a small weld in upper corner. polished and straight but anobrite reacted different to filler material. see pic. ive got $1600 tied up in it and know i won't get it all back $1000obo (other grille is a 25yr old nos grille thats been hanging in basement for years.not for sale)
side note im headed from vt to west palm fl. over to abilene tx. and crosslots back up to vt. if your in that route delivery may be an option

**72k5zl1** · 01-26-2020, 05:56 PM

this is the route we'll be on end of week, beginning of next. i may send it out to chrome if theres no interest in it? its straight and polished out. anobrite just reacted different with filler material in the top corner.

How often do you run that route? or was it just a one time thing?

Is the one on the green rug a repop?

**72k5zl1** · 07-22-2020, 07:21 PM

**Eagle9502** · 07-22-2020, 09:27 PM

Do both restored grilles have the anobrite issue? And what is the condition and price on the NOS grille?

**72k5zl1** · 07-23-2020, 08:17 PM

one is nice. small spot behind bumper. other is pictured. nos one has some spotting in finish. not sure if they will rub out? not that bad. way too nice for a driver
