Painted bumpers - now chrome, Actually Stainless Steel... Options

[Kansas 914]

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)

It is quicker to go out 160 from here - not as pretty of a drive - but you made that "pretty" drive last year at RRC.

How does the stainless compare to the chrome? One is a lot heavier!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

Seriously - I think the finish on the stainless is actually VERY GOOD - though I can see some polish tool marks. I bet you can "buff" them out. Plus I can drill for front license plate (did you notice I had them delete the holes for license plate - same for tow hook hole in rear - called the Steve Iverson Special) if I want and no rust where the holes go. I will show you side by side when you get here. I doubt anyone could tell if they weren't side by side though.
