SS Hood Stacks Original VS REPRO Components
Here are the differences I noted in the reproduction components, the bezels were very nice, however the components were not close in many aspects.
In other words save the grilles backers etc and use them they are much nicer than reproduction. (Everything is Aluminum so it can be re-anodized fairly inexpensively.) Original .040 Aluminum wire brite anodized  Repro - .035 Stainless Wire not plated or polished    Reproduction at off angle  Original backer is Anodized Aluminum -- Reproduction is black vinyl over steel

Re: SS Hood Stacks Original VS REPRO Components
Great job James.
I am always amazed when looking are repop parts. If you are going to tool up for a repro part, it can't cost that much more to get it right. It isn't like there isn't any .040 aluminum wire out there to work with.
