  2. "You get what you pay for" is the wise, old saying. But that doesn't mean the repops wouldn't do ya in your situation. If your Olds is stored warm and dry, and only comes out on sunny days, they might be fine and the cost not hard to take. But there's always some chance the chrome might flake off like a bowl of corn flakes anyway. Remember "China" and "Crap Shoot" both begin with "C". Even listed as "stainless" doesn't mean the same thing that you're thinking will be what they are selling.

    On the other hand, restored and rechromed may be another crap shoot, too. A lot depends on who and how the restoration gets done...... and the cost. The best of all worlds is if you can find NOS for any price.

    "Ya pays yer nickel, ya takes yer chances." Your choice. :confused:
