Has anyone used ws racing for fiberglass parts? How is there Quality? They are the only company I can find that makes a front bumper for a '67 coronet.

I bought a set of glass bumpers from WS for my road runner. It was very poor quality (and later than they said it would arrive). I had to decide if it was better to throw them in the garbage or get them fixed. I eventually got them fixed. I would not buy anything from WS again.

WS used to be a good company, I think the son is running it now, I bought a VFN for my 66 and it required zero prep work, just painted it and hung it.

Glassman, Is the bumper you make for a '66 or '67 dodge? I need the one for a '67 with the blinker holes in it.

I am also thinking of going fiberglass on my 67 charger since it has crappy bumpers and they are alot cheaper and lighter then steel. This is the only place I have seen them listed for my car.

You should google showcar bodyparts. I am sorry to say that I have heard nothing good about their service or quality.

Bumpers on my 67 are also from VFN and are for 66/67.
Don't know if anyone makes a 67 specific with holes for the turn signals.

The most CUSTOMER FRIENDLY pieces were the ones that had a parking-lite turn-signal that was slightly recessed(not open)so the option was left up to the customer to .....

FILL the recess, paint the back of the recess and use the lense so it could simulate a working lite OR cut-out the recess to mount the complete working lite assembly.

This is the way I was making any new multi-year bumper molds back in the 90's.
