Bumper Restoration Recommendation
I am looking for a recommendation for a shop that can restore my original 67 bumpers to show condition. They have some dents but no significant rust.
Thanks

Neal,
Do you plan to ship the bumpers to the plater? Or drive them? What's the closest big city to where you live?

And note; At least at the last judging I was in - a triple chrome plate job will look toooo good and cost you some points.
So there is a difference between NCRS show and "show chrome"Comment

Re: Bumper Restoration Recommendation
I live in South FLorida(Ft. Lauderdale). I have been unsuccessful in locating a shop that will repair the dents and then replate them. I have spoken to Space Coast plating which is a couple of hundred miles north of me.
Any recommendations are welcomed.

If you're going to ship them, Paul's Chrome or Advanced Plating.Comment

Re: Bumper Restoration Recommendation
Neal, the closest plater to you in South Florida is in Pompano Beach. They also do zinc plating. Space Coast does do good work but they are up in Melbourne exit 189 off of I-95.Comment

Paul's Chrome Plating did a set of 67 Bumpers for me. They came out absolutely fantastic.

Re: Bumper Restoration Recommendation
Neal,
You might want to talk to American Bumper in Miami, 305-592-3199. They will repair dents and remove sheared bolts. The price they quoted me for mid year bumpers was $175 a bumper. In addition to bumpers, they will chrome plate all car parts.
Another chrome shop is Melimar in Davie, 954-327-5788. They do not do any repairs.
