I was thinking of going fiberglass but just dont know if I will be happy with them painted. Anyone know of a good place to have mine straightened and chromed?

Had mine done at a place down in Iowa. Guy picked them up and delivered them, they have a truck that picks up parts to chrome, not sure how far north they go. They were not show chrome but looked very nice and price was $525 and that was for both front and rear on my dart, Been a couple years but I do still have the reciept if you want the info.

I'll make some calls.......I've got friends who do motorcycle stuff right here in the cities and they are amazing.
Whether they do bumpers or not I don't know.

If you are interested , p.m. me and I'll put you in touch with them.
They are in the north metro ........Blaine I think.
He did the bumpers on a buddy's Vette and they are like mirrors.

My son was telling me there's someone chroming fiberglass now. If you can do it with plastic I guess why not. I have no experience with this, just what I heard. I'll ask him tomorrow at work if he has the details.

I just had Tri City do the rear bumper for my Demon. It is flawless. Cost was $325. I dropped it off with them at Carlisle this summer at the Mopar event. Got it back around the end of September.

If you are needing fiberglass bumpers for your 62-68 Dodge or Plymouth then call me @ Sled City Fiberglass, 1-614-875-0369. And I would also like to reccomend a company that has done both my 68 Hemi Cudas, 67 Belvedere, 63 Dodge, 69 Coronet wagon and will be doing all the straightening on my 62 Plymouth Station Wagon rear bumper, so that I can make a mold off it. The company is, Auto Medic Supply out of Georgia. 1-706-337-4606. Ask for Mike and tell him that Sled City sent ya. They advertise in MCG

You're in Minnesota. For the best job at the best price on your steel bumpers Keystone is the way to go. That is who everyone around here uses. All they do is stock bumpers, no glass or custom plating work.

They did mine and in one year they spider cracked. They wouldn't repair because I didn't save the receipt and couldn't prove I had it done. I guess they don't keep records any better than I do.

Wow were they fibreglass or steel? The way the guy talked they are the best.
Kind of expensive too. Don
