I'd be in for a set of front and rear one piece if the price is right ...

Perfect timing! My ugly dented tit-holed '73 is due for replacing soon.

The rears are done in fiberglass and the fronts as in the works. The "chrome" finish is pretty close to being done. Here's a few photos

No, just a thread that's taking forever. I will have 2 of the rear earlys painted black in later today (so I've been told). I'll get some pictures up later today. But, the fronts are not done yet. Soon, I hope, because not too many people want just the rears.

Any chance for a quality one piece GT front ? .... and a good GT (oil cooler ) front valence ?
The unknown source front valence I have is crap.
Does anyone have experience with Getty design versus AIR ?

Just a note on the chrome finish, I saw on the 'jay leno's garage YouTube channel' a video with a chrome finish product that can be used on anything and looks awesome.

Hey : Ther is a
guy in Detroit that use to make F/G bumper Tops.

Can't remember his name? May be some one from the Motor

City area will chime in. As I remember ( heck I can't even

remember his name) it was a very nice product!

Thanks to all that have been interested on these. I had James make the rears in the 70 style bumper as shown, but these have drawn out to a point that I really can't work with him on these. He says he'll make the fronts to match at some point, but I was not comfortable opening up a GB as we had been having some issues with production schedule for the tops.
Sorry,
MArk

Bummer, looks like I'll have to send mine out for repair/chrome (or at least price it out to see if it makes $ sense over SS).

"Shave off 25lbs on the rear, and 28 on the front."
