I have a bumper on my 68 that is very nice except for a dent on one corner. I was thinking about sending the bumper out for rechrome versus replacement. 68 Road Runner (383/4speed, post car w/decor pkg) - Major Project 69 Road Runner w/472 Hemi & 4 speed. 70 Challenger R/T SE EF8 w/ V9J, U - A32 - Major Project 2023 Ford Mach 1

I always try and use an original and have it rechromed. The new replacement bumpers won't hold up to exhaust fumes, etc, very well. Especially since most of our cars had tips.

I called Ogden and they wanted $700 after I described the bumpers condition. I called a place out of Tuscon and they said $350 then I described the bumper and they want pictures. I called Witchita, who Layson's recommended and they are part of Keystone and send their bumpers to Minnesota. I will call Tri-City Monday. What about the place in California-not bumper boyz? I wonder if they are still around?

I know they used to be excellent, wondering if the quality is still the same. That's who we send ours through. We send them through our local jobber Auto Body Specialties out of Sioux Falls SD. Usually 10-12 week turn around. Prices vary on size of bumpers. Have had them fully straightened and dents taken out but if there are weak spots or crust issues it's extra. Naturally if the bumpers are twisted and not a good starting point I'm sure it's extra. Ones I've sent there have been ones like just needing usual rechroming. Have sent ones that have needed holes welded up that didn't get charged for. Never had any issues with quality on any. I bet we have sent over 20 sets there over the last 20 years with no issues. Contact Me about AMD Prices

The cost of plating will be minor compared to the cost of shipping them. And if they are not good and have to be sent back, the turnaround time will be well into next winter. That is why we were looking for another option that was just a little closer. At least the Ogden Chrome prices include shipping in both directions. 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie, 73 Cuda Previous mopars: 62 Valiant, 65 Fury III, 68 Fury III, 72 Satellite, 74 Satellite, 89 Acclaim, 98 Caravan, 2003 Durango Only previous Non-Mopar: Schwinn Tornado

Granted they are my original bumpers and the car was a California car but it also spent some years in Minnesota. They had to fix a half dollar dent in the rear one and that came out perfect also. Cost was $800 plus $80 shipping back to me. Ron

They are also an original Cali pair, that were straight as an arrow.

I hope your's are as nice as this set, you'll be happy! Ron
