Who reproduces the fender eyebrow molding for a 1968 Nova that actually fit? The ones from Corvex suck.

I have already talked to Ground Up. Those are the same ones I have sitting next to me. They are made by Corvex and don't fit at all. I talked to Trim Parts and they supposdely have the best ones however they are having a tooling issue with their current supplier and are on backorder. I guess I will continue to wait.
Does anyone know anybody you can restore the original ones? They only have a couple dents and dings.

Thanks for the heads up Zach. Mine really only need polishing also. There was someone on here a while back that did some remarkable work, I'm sure a member here will remember who that is.

[/ QUOTE ] George Lucas from Steve's Nova Site does nice work on trim items...you might want to track him down. The Trim Parts products are far superior...they are in a production delay though, as you stated. Sometimes NOS or good used ones can be found among Nova folks. wilma

What are NOS ones worth? Craig Chev. tried to sell me a Corvex one as a NOS one a few years ago. I don't even want to scare you with what they tried to tell me on a price.

Are the 68's different from the later years?

Greg [/ QUOTE ] Just bought 1 NOS 68 Nova headlight bezel in the original box off of e-bay. Needless to say, the seller didn't know what it was and likely the other bidders didn't either..... ![]()
