68 Rear Bumper
Permalink  

The rear bumper on my 68 2+2 is in need of rechroming. It's got that sandblasted
look. But also the ends are slightly twisted and there is a small dent in it. Do the
chrome plating places straighten bumpers anymore or do I need to hunt down another
bumper. Can anyone recommend a good chrome plating place in Edmonton?
Thanks.

JC

I have a perfect rear bumper but I'm as far away from you as possible - St. John's NL. I think you should be able to find something closer to you. I'll PM you some contacts.

Thanks Carl for the info. I guess I'll make a few phone calls before I get excited
about replacing mine. I was told that a lot of chroming places shut down due to
environmental issues. Just goes to show you don't trust all what you hear - do
your own research. Those names you gave me have been around for ever.
$800 is more than I was expecting though. I'll get a few quotes and see.
Thanks again.

JC

Price out the shipping,,,, reach out to a friend with a business account, you'll be surprised to find out it's affordable in Contrast. Also check out the bus, you can get qoutes online. Greyhound.com

I just had a pair of firebird bumpers sent out from Ontario to sask. Well worth it.

I bought a Pontiac hood and trunk lid from rabbit64cs; it was shipped by truck to Newfoundland. The cost was quite reasonable at the time, approx 2005.

gparis7; I hope that was the year and not the cost. lol. Got one quote for rechrome.
Approx $650 without looking at it. I think I'll go the good used route so I'll move this to the Wanted section.

2005 was the year; the cost was a few hundred dollars but can't remember the exact amount now. I'm sure it's gone up since.
