What I have observed in my few years in the auto restoration and a few more into antique tractors/equipment is this. Out of ten people refurbishing their cars/tractors , seven of them will inevitably seek out and purchase the quick/pretty/new aftermarket parts. I mean , lets face it, they are "new" and they look so good and you punch a computer button and they ship to your door in a few days. Yea, ya get them and they aren't perfect and a little off correct but who will ever see. Myself, I will take the refurbished original any day but to base a business (even at retirement) on a 30% potential market share just isn't going to cut it. Right now I have a 100% perfect restored/painted set of original grills/screens for a JD "B" and am asking the same as they used to for the bare steel reproductions w/o screens and shoddy workmanship (none on the market anymore).... and no sale. Same with refurbished original clam shell fenders. They will buy the re-pops and pay same. That 30% won't even pay for the initial investment.
