Dont let Gean talk you into using his aluminum grills as they are brutal.
....That's putting it "nicely", as I've seen those grilles in person, you'd be better off fabbing your own grilles on a mill, (which I have done in the past before the repros came out) Jeromes are nice, I got 2 sets from Year One about 3 yrs ago, in stock at that time....I've got Year Ones bubbles which are a composite plastic (not a glass lay-up), very heavy in density, light gray on the outside and black underside, supposely YO's better "upgrade" bubbles, as they offer 2 type, approx $400 ea, grilles fit with minimal effort, all the bosses are molded in,,,,I did have a fiberglass repro many years ago from all places "Jims Auto Parts", very nice construction, Red GelCoat finisk, very accurate as far as fitting of all the factory grilles, doors, base, etc, again all the bosses were in place, and very nice construction for a fiberglass part

Art Jr at Six Pack said they sell Jerome's grilles but are currently out of stock. He said Jerome has been sick.
Someone else told me they won't stock Ben's grilles as they have had too many returns due to fit issues and they also prefer Jeromes grilles
Did it sound like he would restart production when (if???) he gets better???

Given all the various issues with these reproduction pieces, does anyone care to value real parts: hemi shaker base $ outer adapter ring with feet and swivel:$ bare bubble:$ grilles:$ both doors:$ Thanks Tom
