I had the car up on a lift Friday looking to see if there were spots marked on the sheetmetel where the holes for the early bumpers would be located. I did't have a dogbone handy at the time, but it looked like there are slight indents at the far ends.

I read over both bumper install threads and didn't see a reference to this. Any information will be appreciated-- front and back.

Jim I think that smaller chrome shops are harder to find these days. Most of them are into production work. I think Leamon had a shop that had a great price.
The one shop I use here in Portland is Oregon Plating. They do very high quality work , and you pay for it. The reason for higher price is triple plating, that means more dipping and more brass to help hide flaws. Check around and get quotes and ask the shops what you get for the money.
I have tried another place close to CAMP 914 in Oregon City, but I was not happy with the finished product.
One thing that I have been told is let the chrome shop take care of any flaws or dent removal. By doing it yourself you can cause more work, more money.
