I have had these bumpers for maybe a year. They have been on the Willow Green '72 project.

I decided since that project is on hold (moved from Kansas to Colorado and parts are in storage) I would throw the bumpers on the red '74. It is part of my plan to get the red car closer to a GT look. Flared rockers are the next addition. I have a newly chromed (real chrome) set for the '72 as it should have steel bumpers for a "near" Concours car anyway.

Nice, I really like those bumpers.

I talked with Sandy about stopping on the way to the RRC. We may be coming over Thursday the 6th and leaving for Beaver Friday am. We may get to cruise around a little Thursday night. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Alien meets Wild Child. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That would be AWESOME! There is a nice drive from Denver to Durango - no Interstate and mountain roads! Then you get to drive the Million Dollar Highway (US 550) up to Grand Junction and across to Beaver from there (I guess that is how you will go?)

We thought about heading west on 160, across 184 to 491 and end up heading north on 191 through Moab. It drops the drive to 6 hrs from Durango to Beaver. Heading over the million dollar highway adds an hour + to the drive. If I weren't coming from half way across the country already and hour would be no big deal. But....

Back on topic, I like the bumpers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) How do they compare to the chrome ones you have? In a side by side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
