Too bad we can't get a list of certified reproduction parts. I like
Ed's known bad parts, AKA House of Horrors, on justbrits.com
(http://www.justbrits.com/odd.html). There are also a bunch of parts
that we settle for that are far from original quality.
My cars PO threw all of the original chrome away so he could have
"new". Now I have a chrome top grill surround (top cowl) that has a
large gap from fitting the shroud. Hopefully I can get it to fit,
but the originals would have just needed to be rechromed
