Full 1980 square headlight set up.

What is the value for a set up grill, headlight bezels, lower bumper filler, the brackets to mount headlights to. any input would be appreciated
No I don’t want to hear it’s worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

3-4 years ago I would have said a couple of hundred but everything is crazy now.
If the bezels are OE metal and not plastic that adds a fair amount to the value plus as far as I know the 80 chrome grille isn’t reproduced.

Idk…. I paid close to $800 just to get my 1980 bezels chrome plated since all that is available in the aftermarket is chromed plastic bezels

AMD has a repop chrome grille, @TotalyHucked said they bought GM’s molds IIRC.

LOL, I’m all for the Krylon restoration but these had to be “show chrome” status

We carry the grilles but we developed our own tooling by reverse engineering. The GM molds would be too worn if they even exist by now

Assuming you are happy with the quality, can you let me know who did them for you? I need 2-3 sets done for 73-79.

Yeah, I’m happy… I went to a guy in Reno, NV named Luis Feliz. There was a little pitting and a few minor cracks in them where the screw bosses got tweaked.

He shipped them off to wherever he has chrome done. Neat guy, he worked at the Harrahs Auto Museum for like 30 years before opening his own business. He actually reminded me of my late grandpa who owned and operated a body shop by himself with no employees. Every time I’ve been in there he has some high end hod rod getting painted…

Long story longer, you may be able to get Luis to tell you who does his chrome work.

If they are metal, you can have them powder coated in chrome.
