SO.....
Long story short Mike Warhurst (Warpig) had helped to broker a deal for stainless bumpers that looks like it's well....dead. I'm looking into making front and rear bumpers off shore with a company that a student of mine's uncle owns. They have experience in stamping and have pressed big enough to do these. QC is an issue that will need to be addressed, and at 1st it will be late bumpers. They are very labor intensive to do, but if there is an interest I will visit the factory and see what we can do. I plan to actually ship over front and rear clips to check fits. That and final payment will be made in person as they are packed to insure no surprises. I'm shooting for about $800-900 a set but would need to do about 50 sets to make it work. I will also be offering discounted rubber bumper tops for those that want it to help make this work. So, lets start again. Who would be interested at that level? |

I would be in for a set of early front and early rear.
In my perfect world they would not be chromed, and the front would have the GT style for the oil cooler inlet. |

Mark Henry had the buck he created it would be interesting to see where that is and then a potential for someone to offer the mod?? I know I would consider buying a bunch of bare steel fronts and do the mods and resell. Might be an option.. |
