head light bezels

Patiently waiting to purchase a set for my 65 from dc; but their chrome series is back order; The purchasing dept; states keep try every 3-6 weeks; since dc truly doesn't backorder you got to keep attempting to order. Has anyone order from sponsor or others and are impress by the quality? lmc is 29 bucks higher than dc per bezel?

This might be a stupid question, but what is "dc"? As for a good source for the bezels, I don't have one. I'm shopping for a set myself.

I'll tell you what I do know...D.C.'s chrome is very nice. Worth the wait.

dc = Dennis Carpenter Reproductions in Charlotte NC.

Mitch,
Have you tried Rick over at Carolina Classics, in Durham, or Flash Back as alternate sources? Both are on line ya know, an' both are in the Tar Heel like dc is, 'cept a tad more north easterly . . . .

Try the other two, and see if they have any in stock. They buy 'em from DC anyway. DC's quality is second-to-none...I've bought some of their 'seconds' and even the rejected stuff is darn nice.

Thanks for the post; I'm a patient man; but I'll try Carolina; got my body trim from them thru Mac's auto; never heard of Flash backs but i'll check.
I truly believe DC makes great products; I was disappointed when I purschase my tail light & turn signal covers from lmc; mainly because of company logo on lenses; would like to find NOS for them also.
Again thanks guys...

I'm under the impression all reproduction dealers label their after market products with a company logo? (I'm talking about tail lights & turn signal lenses)
hopefully this week dc will have bezels to order..
