Re: trunk irons (corv58)
One year only item...etc. I'm afraid you "ain't" gonna find them cheap anywhere. I believe I recently saw non chrome plated repro's selling for about $400 per pair. Chuck

Re: trunk irons (58Vette65)
The guy who was making the trunk spear repros is the same guy who now sells the non-chrome ones. I think he advertises in the Driveline (the ncrs periodical). He was the guy all the retailers bought from.
I talked to him about a year ago and he told me he stopped having them chromed because it was causing too many problems. So getting trunk strips from Mary Jo or Corvette Central may be next to impossible. He now just sells non-chromed brassones direct. You'd have to have them chromed yourself.

Re: trunk irons (58Mike)
I think the company is "Buzz Reproductions" and I believe they're in Pittsburgh, PA. The only thing I've heard about these is that they are too heavy....overcoming the "pressure" of the trunk springs when you open the trunk, i.e., the trunk won't stay open. Chuck
