I think I will put the chrome one on... for now. I have a very nice rechromed front bumper that is ready to go if I can find all the brackets. We are getting ready to move (hopefully) and so much stuff is in storage. The endura bumper isn't painted yet, and who know when I will get to it.
Also, my rocker spears are a bit more dinged up than I remembered. Are they flash chromed like the window trim? If not, I can to some straightening and polishing. If I can't make these look good, are there any REALLY GOOD repros (I know, probably an oxymoron) available? If so, who has them?

S&S headers. Small company that went out of business when the economy tanked in 08 or 09.

They made the only off-the-shelf header I could find for my old '55 Gasser that would fit with all the engine setback. They also had a great website with tech info pages on exhaust scavenging which has always been an interesting subject.

I do think someone is selling good rocker spears. To the point of saying NOS but without packaging.

Any idea who makes them, or where to buy?

Well, I may have to buy a pair. Turns out the ones I thought I scored at a reasonable price were just the retainers. A well meaning member sent me the link, and I didn't read it carefully. Fortunately, the vender is accepting the return, as I have no need for them. My retainers are in perfect condition.
Thanks for the kind words on my car guys. I am pretty proud of it, considering Sherri and I painted it in the garage.

Considering just doing the spears myself. I know, once you figure in your time, it is cheaper to buy new.
Back to my question: were these spears flash chromed? I know the window trim was flash chromed, and it makes it very difficult to get them looking perfect just polishing them.
