I recently got my '66 fastback out of storage. I restored the car in 2009, and now I'm repairing a few things and correcting a few details. Due to time constraints back when I first restored and reassembled the car, I decided not to have the original window frames rechromed. At the time, I thought the reproductions were fairly hit or miss, so I decided to stay with the originals in hopes of having them rechromed some day.
Now, I need to decide whether to have the original vent window frames rechromed, or whether to replace them with reproductions. I'd like to have the originals redone, but I know chrome work can get expensive. On the other hand, I hate to use an inferior reproduction that won't fit and function like an original; even more so, I hate the thought that the repro chrome might pit within a few years.
Any opinions or ideas on which way to go? Has anyone tried the reproduction frames yet? Thanks for any help/advice offered.
