True but then again you don't have to do anything to it and it is original with original hardware so really is a better deal then spending 500.00 on a kit you then have to rewrap buy hardware ,heads, etc and after all that it is still only worth 500.00 sorry i have to disagree money well spent it a heap better than money thrown in a hole.
[COLOR="DarkRed"]Well, thanks for the comment
...but as Kevin said...I wasn't talking about a kit you have to repair and rewrap.
$500 can pretty easily get you a Slingy with the same shells and wrap in much, much better shape than these chrome numbers here; particularly a sparkle or a gloss finish. Remember, it's only 3 pcs. It wouldn't take long to find a 3-pc vintage American kit for about 5 bills which would need nothing but some dusting/cleaning.
Trust me...those chromies can't fetch $450...they are just not very desirable....
