    Hey folks,

    I am thinking about running a batch of 4-6 71-72 skylark bumpers up to desert dogs for rechrome. I would be willing to take others there for you but you would have to get them to me in the central Indiana area. I would do this for a small fee of $10.00 per bumper. (of course you would have to pay the rechrome) I talked with them today and they told me that if I placed and paid for the order ahead of time they could have them all ready in 3-5 weeks. All I would have to do would be exchange them and head back this way. If anyone is interested please let me know

    Would have been interested about a month ago.
    Since then my good friend George N. has found one for me & shipped it to Desert Dog.
    Heard some very good comments here on their work. Should have it in my hands late October, early November.

    Hey Dave, this sound good, but I won't really be ready till it is time to park the car for the year. When will you be doing this? How much is each bumper?

    Thanks!!

    Desert Dog told me $250.00 per bumper and the people on this board have raved non stop about how good they are. They were very friendly on the phone TOO!!!!

    I would like to place the order by the end of this month. They said 3-5 weeks after that.

    With shipping back and forth from Seattle it will probably run me over $350 per so I called some local plating shops and was told they won't do any straightening. The plating alone will be ~ $1500 each.

    The shipping doesn't seem so high now. I'll have to keep them in mind.

    i wrote you back but let me throw this out for everyone.

    they might not have an exchange for my front bumper so they may have to replate mine.
    i have 2 front bumpers but one is wrecked.
    Bob at DesertAuto said i could send in my wrecked front bumper

    If you were getting your front bumper done, would you send in your good one or your wrecked one. :Do No:
    Here is a picture of my wrecked one

    thanks

    randy

    ps. they didnt want to buy any cores
