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.   |

I think the chrome looks great on the red! (<-see avatar) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Seriously, both the chromies and the red bumpers look great on that car. |

I really like the blacked out trim on your car. It makes it look more modern and less classic, but I'm digging on it.

The car has black windshield trim (rubber), black door window trim and black sail panel trim. I have been thinking about going all chrome where I can. Here is a picture from last year right before I headed to MUSR.  |

I'll trade you. Much of my chrome is in good shape, windshield surround and 1/4 windows I'm pretty sure are good. Wish you were closer to Denver. Let me know if you are interested and want to go that route. Be cost effective for both of us. |

Thanks for the offer - I have all the shiny parts - just not the time to swap (low priority for me). |
