Early bumpers are crazy expensive. Late bumpers are cheep, but they look terrible and weigh a ton. The last option is get a fiberglass racing bumper in about any style you could imagine. For a reasonable price. And a wieght reduction. Do that.

You can find an old school chrome plater. He would be able to rework the bumpers and rechrome them. I had mine done and they look great, but the guy that did them has passed on. He was real old school.

You can always paint your bumpers, unless you prefer chrome. I like the matching body colored bumpers.

Body colour bumpers. Only pic on harddrive at the moment, so please disregard the wheels. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I like body-color bumpers. I'm bumperless right now because I took the heavy-pigs off my '75 and tried to give them to Craig. I still have the front, and will pay anyone $5 to come and take it away. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I'm putting an early metal rear on (Thanks to John Kelly who gave me one!!!).

I'm looking for a good deal on a fiberglass front. I would love one like pictured below (photo from a recent thread here), but just a stock shaped one-piece would be great.

Getty Design is one of the most respected brands out there because they are very well made and fit nicely. Some others take a lot of work to get them to fit right.

Well, it was 20 years ago I sourced the bumper top and nozzles...My factory parts guide book lists the parts as such....I even have a set for late style bumpers.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Very nicely made, fits perfectly, really light. Crash protection? Try not to hit anyone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
