Looks to fit in my fixture pretty good. Polishing is pretty good.

I don't do Facebook either, and also do not know source of stainless bumpers. We need more information for context.

This bumper came from auto Atlanta for one of their customers. It was sent to me for the conversion. Dropping off at the polisher today..left the welds very proud for him to take down. The polisher gets very particular Attached Image

One can always depend on Ben McFarland to do perfect work, do it on time, keep in constant communication with his customers, and deeply convey honesty, conviction, friendliness, and honor.


I personally cannot say enough about Ben.

Group Harrington is the manufacturer of the Stainless Bumpers.
They make bumpers for many different classic cars.

They have a presence on e-Bay and they sell to suppliers or you can by direct.
Their factory is in Vietnam but their offices are in the U.K.

Excellent people to do business with.
I bought my bumpers direct from them and they arrived at my door via DHL..
and even FedEx has trouble finding my house.

I just looked on their web site and they list the pair bumpers for 1861.19 and that includes shipping..

Cut off wheel on a grinder and do it very carefully.

I remember considering the SS front & rear bumpers about 12 years ago and thought, "that's expensive"... today that seems like a deal for 2 beautiful bumpers including shipping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
