At least your 53 should have missed out on some of the war chrome. That was truly miserable for longevity and the cars that have it are frequently disasters as far as brightwork. I think that use was mostly over by 53 production. Just in case some was still being used, here is the article for 52s and will give a general idea of material or how various pieces were finished.
IMO, If you can do the work and your brother will be the plater or you have one that will work with you then I think you would be money ahead to go the drill and fill route. Don't think you will find NOS for all the pieces needed and those you do find will most likely cost as much if not more than plating and may not match if mounted side by side. Used will probably not be more than driver condition or even much better than what you have.
