My car currently has a fiberglass bumper and I want to go with a steel bumper. For chrome bumpers with the oil cooler cut out, what are my options? Does someone make the bumper that way or do I have to get a new one, cut it up and rechrome it? Thanks.

I recall the first ones I did took about 5 hours to do. Now I am more efficient. I would think for someone that may not have the same skill set nor fixtures could easily spend 20 hours on a bumper job and still not fit. Mine are welded on a fixture I made based off of some stainless bumpers I did for George.
I put the actual lip on so it looks like the factory would have made it to. Oscar can probably chrome one for you. It may take a while for him but the price is right. The reality is you can get a GT chromed bumper done for around 1000 bucks for a good job. For concours it will be double that. Cairo s bumper was done by me and he found a chromer but I don’t recall the final price he paid. |
