    C1 Front Chrome - Repro OK?

    Final stages of restoration on my 61. My NOS (bought many years ago) grill surround and front eye surround chrome is really wavy and my restorer is not happy with the quality. Thinking of buying "new" pieces from CC or Paragon. Are new pieces OK for judging? What should the original pieces look like?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    I don't really like saying this but I will! To day seeing so many trailer queens being judged that any Corvette wearing NOS chrome and many NOS parts will lose points because they cant compete with big money . That's why it's hard to sell original NOS parts

      NORS 61-2 grill mouldings(all 6 of them) that were sold by GM in the 70's and on, left a lot to be desired. haven't seen the repos so can't comment on their condition. i sent the NORS ones i bought from GM in the early 80's out to the chrome plater.mike
