Grille Bars - Complete Set - Restored ~ 1967 - 1968 Mercury Cougar

If you have a good core, have a local person do the work. You can get better quality for a lower price and no shipping.

I started opening, beginning with the small fins, and was disappointed with the insides of the fins. I let it go hoping the larger pieces would look better. As I continued to unwrap each piece, my disappointment only grew. I absolutely would not buy these if I were starting over. You have no idea what your luck will be. The insides of the fins were not polished and the pitting is so bad I will have to fill with a high-build primer/paint to clean these up. Don’t do it.

   

I was hesitant too purchase these with the hefty price tag of over 600$. I had two bumpers rechromed for about the same cost. The description stated these were excellent quality rechromed units, and I am building a show quality 67 standard cougar so I pulled the trigger. Upon inspection the set I received was well chromed on the face of the bars but looking at the sides (Where originally painted) the chrome was wavy and inferior quality. Needless to say I was a little dissapointed for the cost paid. If I wasn't in a time frame to rebuild my headlight assemblies for the body shop I would of most likely complained and exchanged them.
