Triple plating at Oregon Plating is $500. per bumper. Total to do a 75-76 bumper backdate with plating, grilles and bumper tops, you should be at @ $1500. Some I am sure have done it for much less.

$1500 for new parts (including rechromed cores) sounds a little light, or are you talking some used parts?

I was thinking more like 2 large (at least) for rechromes and new parts. New bumper tops alone are about $700-800 for a pair these days.

This is really depressing, looks like the SS option may actually be cheaper in the long run. Trouble is I've outlaid so much cash on parts already and I'm so far from being done. May have to settle for powder coating the bumpers for now, at least I can do that. Has anyone tried any of the "chrome" powder coats and what was their opinion of them?
