Trying to decide to straighten mine, or buy the re-pops. I see where they are "more geared for a street rod..." Anyone use them? How far off from original are they, or am I better off trying to find a better original set?

Original parts would generally be better unless the reproduction is a faithful copy which they indicate not to be the case on the parts they offer.

A lot depends on how "bent" your parts are. I've seen folks straighten and repair parts that some folks would consider to be scrap.
