Re: 1959 repro grill - windshield frame
Bob,
In my personal opinion, whoever makes the parts here in the states would be my preference. Some vendors offer the lower cost imports as well as USA made.
I recall CSM gets theirs made in Taiwan, and CC has theirs made here in the states, yet also offers the imports. I believe Zip Corvette and others may offer the same choices. I think they all get the offshore imports from CSM anyways.
Can't help with the reproduction windshield data as I've not used them. I have heard stories of fit problems with the repros, but then again, most every type of repro "anything" always seems to need some help to get things fit.......in my experiences.
I always get original posts rechromed and restore the channels and trims. Even those originals can be tricky to get things to fit, especially with reproduction/replacement windshields. If my choice, if I had no frame whatsoever, I'd try to locate a good original and have the pieces restored.
