CHQ (Classic Headquarters) parts are better fit and quality than OER. Use them whenever you can. They have their own tooling andthey do have a 68 grille.

Awesome guys that's what I wanted to know. I'm sure some parts are reproduced better than others, brand names are appreciated. I'm looking at a pair of nos parking lights today. Thanks Again

NOS is a better choice, but it will cost you $$$. I agree, the CHQ stuff is pretty good.

For the majority of my build I have used reproduction parts, and most if it has fit relatively well, but coincidently the pieces I have that don't fit, are the headlight bezels...

That's the kind of info I'm looking for, bezels have inconsistent fit from aftermarket. I'm looking at a pair of nos parking lights but not sure if it's worth going nos for the parking lights?
Thanks again
