C2 - 1966 grill

[Steve Miller]

I am at a crossroads. In the process of the final assembly of my 1966 Nassau blue coupe, I pulled the original grill out of its wrappings, where it has been for 18 years. I found it to not be that beautiful item I packed away so many years ago but, a severly pitted and slightly dented piece. I am trying to decide whether to replace or restore. All the major parts houses seem to carry a 'resroration' replacement for $375 to $400. Is this the best route? Is a restoration service available? What are your thoughts? If replacement is the way to go what source is the best? As always, thanks for your response and help.

Steve,

I think that the grill is still made by GM. I don't know the part number. If you have the part number you can go to www.gmpartsdirect.com and get a price. Their prices are usually VERY good. Shipping is high but it still should save you alot of money. HTH

Nick -

Thanks for the info. I placed another post to get some feedback on the web site. Have you purchased much through them? Any problems.

I have purchased from them on 2 separate occasions. No problems with either order. For me I had to get over my fear of using my credit card on-line.

One thing I would advise you to do is to read over their policies page. I think you need to be sure you want to purchase as if I recall it is difficult to cancel an order or return one for refund. Again, read the policies page on their web site and decide for yourself.
