If your looking for bumpers post up your location. I'm sure no one wants to ship those!

I considered it,but the bumpers on both my cars are super nice..I was thinking of just finding some smooth lightweight fiberglass bumpers for the one car,but for the one I'm about the paint it is more of a show piece driver and would really like to do smooth metal bumpers with no bumperettes..worst case I will cut and weld and fab the nice chrome ones.
True..thanks...I'm in east alton,illinois.my shop is Pintos Kustoms and Collision"by prodaddy "
I know me,and I will probably want to just keep gojng and adding power to the car..I figured 60lb was a good place to start.
How hard is it to take the chrome off? Someone told me it's not worth it due to it not gonna come out good enough to last but I want to color match my bumpers
It's not hard at all..you can run a d/a sander with 80 grit then 180 grit and etch or epoxy prime them..or the way I prefer is to just completely sand blast them inside and out,epoxy prime them and then seal base and clear
I just did the job last night in class. The front bumper started life as a factory black bumper. I hit it with 80 grit , I will weld up the bumper strip holes , get it all smooth, hit it with higher grit, epoxy prime like stated above and paint back black. All the bumpers start out the same.
send me a pic and price please
