Looks great, Steve!  That's what I SHOULD have done. Instead I wasted $$$$'s on the repop valance moulding that doesn't fit and I spent a fair bit on an almost mint rear panel but it needs to be painted (came off a 440, not a SB). Live and learn. Dave

and it was less than that repop - which I figured wouldn't fit right anyway.
You figured correctly!

Look fantastic and seems very reasonable to me! I don't say that very often. Here's mine! It was redone pretty nice too, but not for such reasonable price.

Kid you have some nice "tail" too!!

Unless she's found a way to understand the clicks of my keyboard, I think I'm okay!

yeah, your panel looks good. I feel better about the price now.
I got my parts back from the chrome shop today. Since they only charged me $50 ea. to do the tail light bezels, I gave it a shot against the advice of others. Luckily for me they came out great, so I don't have to send be&a $350! I think I'll take the old lady out to dinner.
That seems like a great deal on the chroming too! What shape were they in prior to the rechrome? That can make a big difference in chroming. Well worth 50 bucks! $350 for repops is way out of line

They were real good. No blistering. I was ready to send the $350 because I thought pot metal didn't fare well with rechroming and I didn't want the hassle. But it really did turn out well. I do have to repair three posts, but I can do that. This place was pretty reasonable. Just $65 ea. for the a-pillar chrome. I thought that was a steal!

Steve, Looks really nice. As others have said, that was a real good price for the workmanship. I have paid well over 2x that.
