Hey Mark, these bumpers are coming along nicely and look promising. I requested a GT front bumper already but am curious about the matching lower balance with oil cooler cut out. As I recall those are not part of the first run as you want to get the bumpers dialed in first. But, do you have a ballpark idea of how much these GT Valances will cost. I have one that is fiberglass not yet installed but I've tried lining it up to the body and can see it's off quite a bit and will require a lot of work to get it to fit. From all I've read it seems all the FB parts have fitment issues. I would much rather have one in Stainless for durability and better fit.

Great! I am eager to hear your report on fit

I have a feeling they are going to be just fine. I also sent a bumper top and was quite clear that how it fits in the corners to both the top and body will make or break the deal.

Would be cool to see a video on how they are making them.


I doubt it, just looking at the shop, well let's just say not clean and pristine like a tour through Restoration Design. The person I'm dealing with I don't think ever steps on the shop floor.
But who cares? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The end product is all we care about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)



Very Exciting! The pics look good. And thank you thank you Mark...for your diligence on this project. Keep us posted ...

Copy that Mark but I don't think they make early rear? It's for my six and I'm tired of trying to find a front in good condition....
I will have an early rechromed rear bumper ready in a month or so which I will sell.

Ok... the samples are almost ready to ship, but I have to say dealing with them is a royal PITA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The big one is a price increase to $1200 a set, sucks I know.
We'll just have to see how many peeps bail, I understand, but it's beyond my control.

They also screwed the pooch on the GT bumper, tried to blame me at first, but I had my bases covered. I don't want to announce the GT bumper price till they get it sorted.

Just so you know my "profit" on this deal, which just got thinner, is just a few sets of free bumpers for me and my kid. I should be tacking on at least another $50 per set, but I don't want to totally queer the deal. There's still shipping on top of this to figure out.

I'm most likely going to use escrow on the big order so that will also cost me.

The pictures they gave me look good, but they are low res so I've asked for better pics. I'll post them when I have them.

Hi Mark;
Is it too late to join in this? If not, I would be interested in both front and rear bumpers with options A,B,C,D for a 74.

thx Rick
