extra set of bumpers/window and door post

[Jim H.]

I have two sets of bumpers (rear and front including rear license surrounding), two grill bars, two window surroundings and 5 door posts. I probably have more of the same parts. Now, what do I do with these parts?

1. Replate all of them and keep one set for my car?
2. Sell one complete set of everything and keep one to replate?
3. Break up the parts and sell them as pairs?
4. Trade for all of the parts as cores to a chrome plate shop?

Also, how much are these parts worth if i sell the unrestored parts?

There is a company which will exchange all of the sets and trade plus more $$$ for replated parts. I am not sure if this is a good route.

Really, I only need one set for my project. I just do not know what I should do and whether or not to sell them outright and look for a plater in the area I live to do the work.

I'd sell absolutely nothing until your project is done.
As soon as you sell something, "Murphy" will strike and you'll need one of the items you just sold. Once you Top Flight or Duntov is in hand, then decide what to sell.

Hi Jim

Such rare parts would I keep one set for myself and trade the other parts for money or parts.
Maybe other members search such parts?
