Every search I've done comes up with 5+ years old discussions. I'd like to buy a new reproduction '70 cuda grille.
Preferably one that's already painted the correct argent color...or close to it.
Who do you recommend?

I bought one from Classic Industries and it was great. Fit was good, quality was good. But you won't get one already painted. Here is a great article detailing the grill and shaker. https://moparconnectionmagazine.com...rille-correct-finish-color-myths-busted/

I don't know what to tell you about what they show, but mine was not painted and the one in the article clearly wasn't painted either.

Of course now that I'm looking for one, they're backordered. There's one on ebay, but the guy has questionable feedback.
The one mentioned above in Canada kijiji is pickup only,

Have you checked with Mike Ross at BEAparts.com? He use to paint and sell them years ago. He is a member here @HEMICUDA

Just looked at his website...his is more complete than I need. I have 2 complete original grilles w/ parking lights and the red bars, just that the main center pieces aren't in great shape.

Guess I'll be waiting on the OER grilles to be available again and just paint it myself. I'm leery of paying for something that's backordered right now.

I bought something from classic last fall that’s still backordered and I still haven’t been charged.

I want my fair share

I bought a few direct from AMD, plus one 1971 price was good with shipping. All were unpainted and were pretty damn nice. Anyway open an account and see, likely backordered too.

I just looked, they only charged me $12.95 shipping per grille, both 70 and 71 are backordered

It's not perfect.
It's not correct.
It's not yours!
