I'm wrestling with either having my bumpers restored or replacing with fiberglass. The car is my hot rod.
Are there quality fiberglass bumpers? I only see Glasstek.
If I have them restored, does anyone have experience with specific businesses? TIA.

Rick,
Advanced Custom Chrome in Erie PA is very good. I've used them twice:

I just had my 67’s front bumper re-chomed at electroplating of ElPaso, referred there by another 67’ guy, cost me $500.00 +shipping there. they offered “show chrome” but didn’t push it, my bumper had a few small dents and I think it looks great!
This place has been in business a long time, family business.

Looks great. That price seems fair. Shipping can sure add up.
