Anyone have experience with repro sets being currently sold for '71 chevelles? I would perfer to purchase NOS but seem to only be able to find the rears and not the fronts. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I just put on a set of repo's on my 69,fit like a glove and came with stainless screws, but they were really cheesy and the philips head kept stripping out, so I bought good ones at the hardware store.

Oh yeah, they were made by a company called corvex or something like that.

How much do you guys think an original set would go for? I ask because I traded my friend his help on my Chevelle for the mouldings that came with it, but so far have been unsuccessful in collecting the debt graemlins/angry.gif . They were in perfect condition.

Check there to get an idea.

I have a set of those on my 69. In my opinion, they are junk. They are very flimsy and I sure wouldnt call them great fitting. If you can find a set of NOS , its well worth the money. i just bought a set and am planning on getting rid of those cheap repros. The NOS is pricey, (225.00) but they are realy really nice.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Hey Red, was the trim you picked up from GroundUp NOS? If not, who manufactured them? I looked around there site and could only find NOS sets for $450. That's a bit much for me right now - I'm still looking on e-bay with my fingers crossed.
