914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Recommend a place to rechrome bumpers

Posted by: itsa914 Oct 30 2006, 07:13 PM

Well since I am throwing money at my car might as well keep going. My bumpers are in pretty good shape, but the outer lip edge is starting to look kind of bad. Anyone recommend a go shop that can rechrome my nice straight bumpers in Chicagoland?

Thanks!

I know that Jay Miksell @ partswerks used to carry rechromed bumpers. You might try to call Kathy (his widow), and she may know who did his rechroming. Otherwise, I would check with Hemmings to see who advertises.

I'll try to check with my cousin, he's a blacksmith and seems to know many good metalworkers.

Garold :
There is a place in Toledo,the only job shop I could find.$ 350.00 each
for stripping, fixing any imperfections, and welding closed the tit holes. I never
have seen any of there work,as I said the only place I could find here. am thinking of doing both of my black bumpers this winter. Dave

Garold, not sure of the name but my dad (about 5 years ago) checked into a place in elkhart, IN on his TR3 bumpers. I'll see if he remembers the name of the place.

The body shop I used does a lot of muscle car restorations, very high quality. give them a call and ask them. I am sure they have a very good shop they use,
