68 Aftermarket Stainless Chrome Options & Quality?

I'm having a hard time tracking down the guy who took my stainless & bumpers to refinish, meanwhile I need to look at worse case scenario.
That means I could end up needing basically every fn piece for my 68, bumper to bumper...sickening...

For those who have bought stainless trim lately, where seems to have the best quality & fit?

Thanks!

Hey there I would look for original pieces not a fan of new stuff (paper thin). 68 cutlass I assume, shouldn't be a issue finding. There is youtube videos on sanding and polishing stainless, it's time consuming but not bad. As far as your bumpers I would look for cores, then call and meet up with a chrome plating co. at a swap meet and exchange for two re-chromes. Maybe your get lucky and find some nice OEM's. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the advice, I feared this is what would be saidf of the repop stuff, heard the same a few years ago.
Part of my frustrration is just the amount of time this takes on top of other projects, when I should have it all back polished by now...1st world problems at least.
