Does anybody make stainless reproduction 1937 radiator grills? I just got back from the chrome shop after getting my heart restarted.

You went to the wrong chrome shop, or your grille needs a transplant.
Pictures for comment.

Welcome to the world of rechroming. Kick in the gut, ain't it?

If you want a real heart stopper get a price on rechroming the pot metal grills used after 51.

To Bilbo,

Join the world of reality, get quotes and minimum volumes on reproducing the grille.

I had the bumpers and bumper guards re chromed for about $1600.00. The price for the grill only was $2,000.00.

I had hoped to stay somewhat close for the work but there are only 2 Chrome shops left in Florida that can do work of any size.

I sent my 56 grille to Potmetal Restoration in Florida.
They broke the grille and did a lousy job.
