Wanted chrome for the hood
« on: September 18, 2013, 01:11:15 PM »
Does anyone know of any chrome for the hood of a 51 Henry J for sale?
I am building a J and need the chrome.
I have the small pieces for the fenders.
Thanks

Can you be more specific?  Are you looking for a grill? Script? or hood ornament?  I flooking for a hood ornament, there is a 51 Hood Ornament on Ebay.  Original used one and remanufactured one are on there.

I need the chrome pieces for the front edge of the hood.
The pieces that are above the grille

On the four cylinder cars those pieces were painted as opposed chrome. Here's a set that appears to be chrome - bad chrome, but you could have them plated.
