Quality of reproduction Challenger bumpers - 08/08/14 04:36 PM

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?

AMD made this one about 3 or 4 months ago.

It's not perfect by anymeans but neither were the factory's.

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..
