Hey gang.
Just heard from a friend of mine that the rear of his '70 Challenger Ragtop was damage last weekend. There was a 3" pole hit with a nice ( not really ) crease in the middle of the rear bumper. I told him I'd ask around on the fit and look of reproduction bumpers that are out there in the market......
The alternative is to straighten and rechrome his original, which could get rather costly.
Any input?

Id say find a super straight core then send it to B&L Plating in Warren Michigan..They will strip it..Copper plate it,, then buff the copper to a mirror finish..Then triple nickel chrome...The bumper will look like mirrored glass..My 72 RR bumpers are three times the size of a Challenger bumper and I paid 500 per bumper...And they look amazing.. 
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!
