It took six weeks, and A$440, but it was worth the wait. When my car arrived in Australia, the bumpers were pitted, with the chrome peeling off in sheets. This is more like it!

That's no Dingo! Looks like a poodle mix. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Bumpers look great. I would like to to retrofit my '76. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

That is the sweetest early set of bumpers I have seen in a long time. Wish they were mine. Very nice, very nice.

Craig,
Have you priced rechroming here in the US? Do they fix dents too?

No, she's more of a sock-stealer.

Maltese/Shitzu cross. She's just been to the groomers for a clipping.

The rear bumper was straight, just rusty. the front one was beat to shit, though. That price included dent repairs, and I had the rear roof latch brackets done as well, included in the price.

Hey, I almost forgot! I soaked the rubber bumper-tops in that foaming tyre cleaner for a couple of hours, and they look great!
