PWB Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 So, I tried giving this away in the past and nobody wanted it. I'm about to toss it. No cracks. It does have some chrome pits from road rock. Last chance. You pick up or pay for shipping. (Ocala, Florida) Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi Paul- can’t bear the thought of a good grill going to waste . Can you get a ball park shipping cost to Des Moines ? Thanks Ken KReed ROA 14549 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 That looks like a very nice grille Paul. If it was for a Chevelle, Charger, or Mustang you would have people lined up a mile long! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I know, right? We are a niche within a niche. Cant give this stuff away. Probably a hundred clams to ship after plywood crating. I don’t know how else to pack it. I’ll go to Home Depot and see what s around.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The best & easiest way is bring it to the UPS store & have them box/crate it & insure it for a G note. IF it arrives broken then you get paid. Take pics of it while in their possession for proof. I've had this happen to myself twice now. Both the consumer & I came out OK. Just for the hey of it get me a quote for zip 06853. I have a friend with a '67 & that grille looks much better than his. I WON'T sell it to him. Just for the cost of shipping. Tom T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimera Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Bro, don't you have an area to store extra parts? Like if your car gets in a fender bender or something (knock on wood!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) I'll take it for the $112.00. If Kreed passes. Tom T. Edited May 23, 2020 by telriv (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68RIVGS Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Glad it found a new home Mr. Paul - it just looked much too nice to toss, from the pictures you posted. I have saved bits 'n pieces, mostly small stuff, stored away from 2 '68 parts cars that are at best "driver quality," but I can't bear tossing them. Soon as I do, I know I will need something - at least that's how I justify keeping them. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Yeah, before you know it the garage & basement are full & you have to buy/rent containers to keep the parts in for someday??? Which not hopefully EVER comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 BUMP Still up for grabs. I just got a re-chrome quote today and is as follows: "Paul, Thank you for the inquiry and picture. The grill runs in the $1500.00 to $2000.00 price range plus a 6% metals fee, sales tax and any return shipping. We do ask for a 50% (Cash or check only) deposit in order to begin work on the job. Turnaround time is approximately 10 to 12 weeks. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. Kind Regards, Shanon Rufo Spacecoast Plating 975 Aurora Rd. Melbourne, FL 32935 321-254-2880" This is why I went for my NOS replacement. $$$$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL My 66 grille was $800 6 years ago by a high end shop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68RIVGS Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 . . . probably one of the reasons for making the switch to painted plastic grills ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
