Well, I checked out Pauls Chrome Shop in Tennessee. On my 81 the blacked out trim was getting bad so I stripped it and found chrome underneath. So I decided to have a chromed out 81 in place of blacked out. Only parts left are the front grills. Can't buy them chromed (at least I cant find them). Now mind you these plastic grills are around 4" by 10". They will fit in a shoe box. I got my estimate today. $350.00 each. Believe I will leave them black!!!!!!!!!!!!!
