Is there a place in Sacramento you can get metal bumpers straightened?

A few good chrome shops remain. I’ve heard the shop in Utah does great work. No idea on cost.
In my case, I did a large GB of Early Bumper repair & re-chroming. Ultimately finished about 130 bumpers. Great results, but hated the lead-times. Sometimes it took two weeks, other times over six weeks. I started by pressure washing, bead blasting, repair to re-thread M8 mounting points, and checked for straightness against a jig Bruce Stone and I made. Then I would send them over to the chrome shop for triple chrome. Chrome shop has had a few issues with turn-over during the past year so It’s difficult to keep up with my expected quality. I have 7 bumpers in queue for a mid-west member. Bruce Stone and I have 3 bumpers at chome now. Should have them back any day. Bottom line, if you a nice straight bumper with no dents that just need re-chroming, and maybe thread repair. I can handle refurbishment for less than $400. Currently, I’m not accepting overly rusty or dented bumpers. Straight bumpers are a breeze. Few dents are okay too. Let me know if I can help. BTW... @mb911 is the go-to guy for GT opening modifications prior to chrome. O |
