    You didn't happen to get a price on armrest bases did you? $46 for a complete intricate grill and I would think $10 tops for base ...

    I did not. Call em though. They gave me an initial phone quote. The people are good over there. It is kinda sad though. History of Detroit. I go there and it is a huge plant, with only 10 employee cars there. I am guessing a lot of those jobs are in Asia now. But they do good work and dont mind the small stuff.

    Hmmm... I have seen fiberglass bumpers chromed.
    I wonder if they do that?

    Thanks for your nice posts. I am a 44 year old guy, trying to rebuild his first type of car as a young driver. Although many believe a classic car should be rebuilt to its original form. I am using the following in my decision making:

    If I was 16 years old with a few thousand bucks(prolly more like 4 or 5 when I am done) what would I do? Using this criteria is more fun.

    Any crazy ideas for me to consider?
