914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ GB: Early bumper RE-CHROMING / Repair

Posted by: ValcoOscar Aug 28 2018, 08:43 AM

I have a special group discount offered but I need a few more bumpers aside from mine. Right now I have 9…need a few more.

Two members are already bringing me theirs. Anyone else?
FYI..before I send them in I pressure wash, bake, bead blast & re-tap M8 mounting holes.

Chrome shop is offering:

Option #1 Straight flash and triple chrome= $350.00/ea

Option #2 Minor dents (up to 3) and hole fill in of bumper tit holes (if requested) = $375.00/ea

Option #3 Other moderate repairs within reason, also triple chromed= $400.00/ea

That is for either Front or Rear.

I engrave a two digit number on the backside mounting bracket to ensure you get your original bumper back, I can do initials too, if requested.

I need 50% deposit.
Taking them to chrome 9/14/18 so get them here ASAP.
Please allow leadtime of 3-4 weeks, perhaps sooner
PM me for shipping address

Please remove all grills, plugs and other hardware prior to shipping in bumpers.





Oscar

Steve-

No excuses...I have a mint rechromed rear I can loan you.

Let me know

Posted by: mepstein Aug 28 2018, 10:49 AM

Oscar, I’m in for a front and rear. Please send me your address. Thanks for taking this on. Mark

Posted by: BeatNavy Aug 28 2018, 10:51 AM

Hi Oscar - I'm interested for a front and a rear. I need to take a look at them and assess where they stand in terms of requiring repairs. I can do that this evening.

Thanks!

Posted by: ValcoOscar Aug 28 2018, 11:04 AM

Great Rob & Mark

I can cover return shipping for you two or anyone else shipping in 2 or more.

My way of paying it forward and thanking you all.

This is the first time my Chrome shop offered me such discount.
It pays to be a good customer beer3.gif

Oscar I have a front and rear to be done proper, count me in. Maybe I can ship with Mark. I’ll contact him.

Posted by: DRPHIL914 Aug 28 2018, 01:36 PM

I am in for a front, its a bit rough but is straight, currently on my car - its the one I got from Noel, and the bumper guards from another member close to you(Nacho). I think it has some small tap spots that are under the bumper guard but no rust or major dents. If its not over $400, its a go. My last bumper was just done by a company in Tennessee and they charged $475 and it was straight with no dents, so this seems to be a good deal to me. I will have to get it in the mail to you asap,
Count me in.

Philip

Posted by: mepstein Aug 28 2018, 01:38 PM

Which is better to send for chrome, a bumper that needs dents knocked out or one that is pretty straight but rusty (chrome is peeling off and base metal is pitted). They are both early fronts so I don’t have other choices.


I got Dion covered.

Less pits, the better...typical surface rust, dents, and holes are easy. I'll hold straight re-chrome $350 for you.

Posted by: rasam Aug 28 2018, 02:50 PM

I'm in for 2 for sure Oscar, maybe 4.

Posted by: ValcoOscar Aug 28 2018, 02:53 PM

These are all $350 candidates.

Ok, I've pulled the bumpers out - front is in pretty darn good shape. The rear is going to at least need the "3 dent / 1 spot fill" add-on.

I'll send you pics, Oscar, and see if I can get the address then. Ok, I need to find a box and get these out next week pinch.gif

Thanks!

Posted by: nditiz1 Aug 28 2018, 03:14 PM

I feel like I need to go buy a set of used ones so I can get in on this awesome deal. Even more so since the parts car I own has Bubs(75)

Rears are low hanging fruit. It's finding early fronts that are the challenge.

Can someone share typical shipping cost ??

Thanks in advance.

I sent mine in a cardboard box to a place in TN and it was around $85. They don’t weigh much but you will get a surcharge for an oversized box.

This is a great deal on repairing and rechroming bumpers. I’m paying $475 each plus shipping for mine.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve found the easiest way is to go to a ski shop, get a snowboard box and ask them if they will ship for you. Should be $30-40 depending on location.

Except for a ski shop, I have not been able to find an off the shelf box that works. Most of the shipping companies like fedex only have 4’ boxes.

Since I’m shipping Dion’s and mine, I will buy 4 or 5 heavy duty medium boxes at Lowe’s or Home Depot, slide the open boxes into each other to make a long box and tape them together. I should be able to get all 4 bumpers in.

Posted by: Morph914 Aug 28 2018, 07:13 PM

Oscar,
I should be in for two as well, I need to check mine tomorrow to see if the condition is as good as I remember. I'll get back to you.

Cheers,
John

Wow! that's an awesome deal Oscar. I wish I had the cash but current my 914 fund cash is going to towards my engine. maybe next time.

Thanks to everyone that replied about shipping. But I wonder if the local Dicks would carry snowboards in middle of Texas. huh.gif blink.gif
I wonder if I can just wrap it up in bubble wrap and heavy wrapping paper ? idea.gif

That used to work at Fedex but not any more.

You could probably make a box with some boxes from a bike shop. They generate a lot of cardboard so they are usually happy to give the boxes away.

Posted by: bdstone914 Aug 29 2018, 04:48 AM

Go dumpster diving at a bicycle shop. Standard bike boxes are 8 x 26 x 54-56 inches.
Front and rear bumpers will fit in one box. The box can be cut down in height. Check the shipping rates with USPS and Fedex. Might be cheaper to pack fronts in a different box. The fronts are about 12" deep and can hit the ballooned rate. I have shipped a rear bumper over seas but the front is over the 130 total length and girth limit of USPS.
Bruce

Posted by: DRPHIL914 Aug 29 2018, 06:18 AM

i have been using UPS ground for both the last 2 bumper shipping i did and the 993 seats i sold which got packed into a Home Depot 48" wardrobe box, both were cheaper than fedex.
My bumper that shipped from SC to TN was $50(a front one) they charged me the same $50 to ship back. The bumper i just sold to a member here in Mexico was $117 base but $180 total due to extra fees, but that was boxed up with extra padding , ended up right at 25# total. I expect to pay between $50-70 to ship to CA from SC. depends on the valuation but its only like an extra $1 per hundred for insurance , at least with UPS ground. Could save an extra 15% or so by having an account too.

Where do we ship these to Oscar?

Phil

Posted by: 914bub Aug 29 2018, 07:19 AM

As stated in another thread here recently, if you go Fedex open an account, it will be cheaper.

Posted by: Morph914 Aug 29 2018, 01:52 PM

Oscar,
I have a front and rear bumper packaged and ready to go, just need the shipping address.
I ended up making my own box, it ain't pretty but it will work.

I can perhaps do that, I'll let experience of this run help me decide.
Discounts from any ligitimant chrome shop are hard to come by, so can't guarantee same pricing.

I have cores here in Colorado .... but they are not pretty

I'd hate to ship them out and find out it wasn't worth it
Ideally I'd find a front/rear core local to you Oscar... buy those and join the deal

I have cores here in Colorado .... but they are not pretty

I'd hate to ship them out and find out it wasn't worth it
Ideally I'd find a front/rear core local to you Oscar... buy those and join the deal

Nacho, I could buy the one posted above from you... fill the 74 holes, and then I'd only need to find a front. Is it a good candidate?

brant


I have 2 black front 73/74 front bumpers that I don't need. They are in relatively good (repairable) condition. I will get pictures of them tonight and post them here. Free to those who need them, just pay shipping from Portland to CA.

I have 2 early rear bumpers and a front late bumper prime for restoration. I only need the front bumper and want it chromed, so I am motivated to sell one or both the rear bumpers and use the $ to pay for the front bumper chroming..

Also, I was wondering that with Okteenerfest coming up and so many 914 owners being present if we couldn't ship several bumper in a crate to ship by truck and share the expenses.

I just shipped Ben 6 bumpers for another project. $180 total = $30/bumper. 70 lbs. Not bad. When I ship the 4 to Oscar (mine and Dion’s) I should be able to use small boxes instead of medium.

Anyone have a lead on a front bumper that they can deliver to Oscar?

Thanks

Posted by: carl k Aug 31 2018, 11:22 AM

Oscar-

The pickup in San Rafael didn't work out this morning- not enough advance warning to drive from my house to San Rafael. Looks like I'll be shipping them to you.

I did have a question: one bumper has a couple notches cut out. Can the bumper shop fill these? I could weld them myself but am not sure if they'd prefer to weld it a certain way or with a certain filler rod:

Depeding on your reply, either four or five bumpers will be heading your way soon.

Hey Karl-

I do have this front bumper I did 4 years ago...very nice and shiny but not concourse.

I filled tit holes, lic plate holes and notched the bottom to match my GT valance.
Rigidity did suffer but otherwise just fine.

I'll offer it to you for $200 including shipping. Should you pass I'll offer it to others on this thread.

Let me know...

Carl-

I don't have donor pieces to patch and my concern would be warping. Once I repaired a similar bumper and it came out ok but not worthy of putting it back on a nice 914...driver, maybe.

Sorry, I'd pass on this.

Phoned chrome shop and updated him on quantity of bumpers coming his way, he said he can handle ours with ease. His wife recently had some medical issues and is at home recovering. He said he won't let us down. He is thankful for the unexpected business we're bringing him. piratenanner.gif

Oscar, #1 - I don't see any mention of when or where to make the deposit/payment. #2 - If someone has an extra front bumper to sell, LMK. I cut my opening for the radiator a little too large and would like to have another to cut with a smaller opening. Therefor it doesn't need to be perfect. TIA, Kent

Hey Oscar, I'll be delivering that front bumper we talked about today to your house soon, certainly before 9/14.

Thanks for doing this for our 914 community. When this bumper comes back, I'll be selling a pretty decent front chrome bumper with no tit holes.

I am delivering a load of core bumpers to Oscar today. So far I have at least six rear ones available. Asking $75 to $125 for decent cores depending on condition. I have one early square corner type. I will sell it for $300.
Choice will be based on order of requests. Please post here or send a PM to me. Payment is required upon agreement of of the selection. I will not hold without payment. I have had too many cases where I hold a part and the buyer backs out
We will rank the bumpers on condition and if they fall into option 1, 2, or 3. Issues will be marked with paint pen.
Pictures will be posted here or you can email me at bdstone91@aol.com.

See what they charge you to ship it. They sometime charge extra for a non standard shape. They do not tell you outright what the charge breakdown is.

I have delivered all 19 of the bumpers to Oscar. We inspected, graded and photographed each. Images to follow.
The chart shows which are available, paid for, or pending reply from member who expressed interest. All requested were take in order as received.
We want to hold a couple of cores in reserve in case a paid for bumper proves to have more issues and chroming cost than originally seen.
Two bumpers are listed for parts, mainly for the brackets as some otherwise good bumpers are going to need a bracket replaced.
Please PM me if you have interest in a particular bumper. After it is paid for I will let Oscar know.

Yes...I see you selected bumper BS#4 curved rear needing option #1 re-chrome. It's a nice core.

I have that bumper awaiting okay to proceed from Bruce...stay tune but all should be good. Then I'll PM you with PayPal details.

Starting to pick up from chrome shop.

I can meet up the weekend of G & R Swap Meet (Oct 13 & 14th).

Some of Bruce's bumpers remain available for this GB. Contact Bruce.

Also, I can hold GB pricing for Ben's GT modified fronts.

Mark (markhoward) is planning a drive to SoCal to pick up his bumpers. He graciously offered to transport other NorCal bumpers as long as they fit in his truck. Maybe this can help out Stingbee or Carl K. Date TBD

Oscar, I also sent an additional deposit a few days ago for one of Ben’s GT bumper. I know the logistics must be crazy. I just wanted to make sure we were square so far. No rush at all.
Thanks!!


Yes Danny...you're good on GT front bumper deposit.

Oscar not only found a great vendor, he was nice enough to include all of us. One of the best group buys ever. beerchug.gif

Well...I went to LA grayhound after work to retrieve last in coming bumpers (aside from Pete000). Here are Carl's 5 bumpers. A few had patch repairs and holes filled. beerchug.gif Also you can see Markhowards 2 bumpers...his other bumpers remain wrapped. I wanted to unwrap more but I need family time...will continue tomorrow.

They came out great...sorry for the bad light reflection.

Here are Rob's bumpers...packaging up later today, shipping tomorrow.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=17042

These were another set that were challenging but results speak for themselves.
For some odd reason front bumper tit holes were tough to close up on this one, required multiple passes. 99.914 % perfect...on rear, back crease was tough to work but 100%
nice. piratenanner.gif

I just received mine today! Wow, Oscar, I'm thrilled with the result piratenanner.gif

You know it's an awesome job when your wife looks at them and says, "Well, now you HAVE to get the car repainted." Of course the next step after the repaint is "Well, now that the car is repainted we HAVE to get another garage so it doesn't stay outside." happy11.gif

Kitten my wife is currently fostering seems to approve:

See Post #1 for updates....

I received the last bumpers this Monday....GB now closed..except for any of @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=9892 GT front mod bumpers. I will process those as they come in through end of year at least. I've gotten a preview of Ben's GT mod fronts at chrome shop and smiley_notworthy.gif all will be pleased. Photos coming soon. I've already sent Ben two of my fronts for this mod.

Local SoCal guys...if you see your bumpers DONE on list you can come pick up from my home this Sunday from 8am to 10am. Let me know.

Keep watching Post #1...more bumpers coming out of chrome shop this week

Got mine a couple weeks ago and they are on the car. Better than new. My 74 now looks like a 72 (I have wanted to remove the tits for 40+ years). Oscar is my hero.

Any suggestions on how to handle the front bumper license plate holes if you do not have a front plate?
