Man these came out nice ! So nice I was wondering if I could throw in one more early square corner rear in really good shape, but could be better to make it 8 !

I will pull the last rear off my car this weekend. We can set up a time to get it to you for the last batch.

Can't emphasis enough how nice these came out.

Oscar not only found a great vendor, he was nice enough to include all of us. One of the best group buys ever. beerchug.gif

Well...I went to LA grayhound after work to retrieve last in coming bumpers (aside from Pete000). Here are Carl's 5 bumpers. A few had patch repairs and holes filled. beerchug.gif Also you can see Markhowards 2 bumpers...his other bumpers remain wrapped. I wanted to unwrap more but I need family time...will continue tomorrow.

They came out great...sorry for the bad light reflection.

Thanks to Oscar for this Herculean effort! I hope it is a positive experience for all involved and the chrome shop will be willing to do it again sometime.

Here are Rob's bumpers...packaging up later today, shipping tomorrow.

@BeatNavy

These were another set that were challenging but results speak for themselves.
For some odd reason front bumper tit holes were tough to close up on this one, required multiple passes. 99.914 % perfect...on rear, back crease was tough to work but 100%
nice. piratenanner.gif

I just received my 2 early rear bumpers. They are perfection! Thank you Oscar!
BeatNavy
I just received mine today! Wow, Oscar, I'm thrilled with the result piratenanner.gif

You know it's an awesome job when your wife looks at them and says, "Well, now you HAVE to get the car repainted." Of course the next step after the repaint is "Well, now that the car is repainted we HAVE to get another garage so it doesn't stay outside." happy11.gif

Kitten my wife is currently fostering seems to approve:

Worth the wait!!!!!

Here is a rear bumper that came in with horrible rust under tits that I had no choice but to splice in patches...not the prettiest welding but effective...all bumpers are worth saving.

Results!!! beerchug.gif aktion035.gif

See Post #1 for updates....

I received the last bumpers this Monday....GB now closed..except for any of @mb911 GT front mod bumpers. I will process those as they come in through end of year at least. I've gotten a preview of Ben's GT mod fronts at chrome shop and smiley_notworthy.gif all will be pleased. Photos coming soon. I've already sent Ben two of my fronts for this mod.

Local SoCal guys...if you see your bumpers DONE on list you can come pick up from my home this Sunday from 8am to 10am. Let me know.

Keep watching Post #1...more bumpers coming out of chrome shop this week

Got mine a couple weeks ago and they are on the car. Better than new. My 74 now looks like a 72 (I have wanted to remove the tits for 40+ years). Oscar is my hero.

Any suggestions on how to handle the front bumper license plate holes if you do not have a front plate?

I hope so. I had two rear bumpers re-chromed and they are perfect. I have 2 fronts and 2 rears ready for the next group buy.

Oscar?

Hi! Count me in for front + back. Oscar, I think you have my email from when I bought the 914 dolly from you? Please email me if you ever do this again! Thanks!
