My front bumper is dented on both sides where the rubber tits mount as well as a few other minor areas. The chrome is falling off and rust has attacked the back side. I want a bumper without holes for a plate or the tits. I'm going with a painted bumber rather than the chrome. I started to beat on this one, but now I'm thinking I should just invest in one that just requires finishing and paint. Anybody out there care to share what they've done. Are the fiberglass options any good or are they so much work that I might as well beat a metal one into shape. |

I had the 75 monster bumpers and could not wait to shed the look and the weight. Back dated for the 70-72 look, reworked some old beat up bumpers was'nt easy but they look fine in black. You may want to consider the Rudoplh after market bumper tops, I have one on my rear and it is a very nice piece (my opinion). If you are going for the chrome look take your time and find a nice set. With painting it Black and living in Florida I was able to weld up all the holes and make it look clean. Sorry but this response is worthless without pictures, I will furnish pictures later.
On a lighter note for those of you hating us in Florida for the great weather it may snow tonight and I am only 100 miles from Miami..it's about time. Looking for snow! Vysoc |
