I will need front and rear bumpers for a 67 Coronet RT I am restoring. I have a set of good cores that have nice bumper guards. If I buy redone bumpers they most likely will not have the holes for the guards. If I redo mine I know the holes are correct and true. My question is how much in cost difference would there be to have mine done vs. buying redone ones? Thanks.

Thanks guys. I was expecting to pay around $1000, hopeful less, but that's what I was expecting.
Yes, sorry, I did not mean repops, I meant ones that where already done by a shop.

Mike if you have good cores I would redo them and specify to the shop , and secertly mark them , that you want YOUR cores back . AVOID

AGREE.. def mark em.. we redid my superbird, and thought it easier to buy em from tricity, then sending them our perfect cores tobe redone.. the 1st set from tricity were wavvy on the bottom..semd em back, and 2nd set was wavvy on the top...send em back.. did not go for a 3rd bumper (2 strikes u are out). will say tricity paid for all the shipping, and the chrome looked ok, but lots of hammer marks trying to get em straight..
finally sent my orig to pauls in pa.. lot more $$$ then tricity, but u get what u pay more...most times...

My friend just got back his front and back bumper for his gtx from pauls and he had good cores,they looked awesome,but for over $2,000 seems awful high to me.Are they anybody else that does just as good as job as paul but for a reasonalbe price?I dread sending off my big front round bumper,and back bumperettes and 1/4 glass to pauls,Im afraid I might have to go get loan at the bank just to pay him.
