Eddie have you checked about bumper chrome places lately? 99.9 % died years ago with the invention of the plastic bumper cover. Look in Hemmings, last time I looked you maybe had 4-5 scattered across the country, most local chrome places are small and do mostly motorcycle parts and can not handle a large item such as a bumper, never mind straighten one. An alternative is to take it to a place who know's how to sand blast properly without destroying the part to remove the nickel and chrome. I have been thinking about that for my orange car, sand blast them and paint them body color for a mono-chromatic effect. Bumper shops were a dime a dozen 30 years ago in in the N.Y. Metro Area, now there is not a one. "Doc" ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

place and ask them to denickle and dechrome it. Same price, and then it is
ready to paint same color as car like I did with the Red Death to name one.
I like color coded bumpers it gives it a modern look!
