Bumper Boyz... Aint no way. I see their 'work' at the local swap meet and have never heard anything good about their 'work'.
I pay $450 per bumper for my '64. '63 shouldn't be any different. .... yes, $1200 per bumber,... someone is smoking crack (that or you're supporting their habit)  -r-

A buddy of mine used Bumper Boyz for a '65 Lemans and is very unhappy with their work. I sent both of mine up to Denver Bumper and they did a great job. It was about 650.00 for the pair. There's a couple places her in town that you drop your bumpers off at and they ship to Denver. Turnaround time was only about 3 weeks.

Her's a link: http://www.denverbumper.com/ . It looks like their prices have gone up a little. Now about 800.00 for a front and rear for a fullsize. Look at their price list for '84 and older cars.

IMO Bumper Boyz reputation (not great) is well founded. I would not consider them.
I had Tri City Plating do front & rear for my 57 chev few years back and more recently they did frt and rear for my 61 Catalina. All four bumpers turned out very well and I'm satisfied. I think I paid around $950. inc.tx. for the Catalina bumpers and that was last year. Mine are not show chrome but I'm still quite happy with the results........................ Jerry |

I'm restoring my other car, a '54 Bel-Air. What do you guys think of Tri-City Plating in TN? Whats the differance in their show chrome vs driver chrome? How long it lasts, shine, type of metals, prep...?? They're not too far from here and their prices are reasonable. How is bumper straightening done? How does a bumper shop know what the bumper is supposed to look like?
thanks, Chip
