I have been thinking about that for years, what did it cost to chrome them?

Cost

The cost of this whole thing was quite a bit from the cost of the bumper itself to the preparation of the raw bumper to fit my turn lights, body work to smooth out ridges, pinholes in the fiberglass, sanding sanding and more sanding, shipping and then fitting it. For lack of time and I despise body work, I paid to have most of the work done. The only thing I did was cut and fit the turn signal lamps and drill and file fit the square holes for the mounting bolts. I did a lot of initial sanding, but left the final fine sanding to experienced body people.

Total cost about $875...I did it over a few years. If you do all the body work, final sanding and fitting and installing you can get by with about $500 including buying the bumper.

I assume there are varying quality in bumpers for a chevelle, camaro, etc... but having a Monte limits my access to 'glass parts to a vendor or two so I am stuck with whatever quality they have.

:thumbsup:
Looking good as usual Tom.

You're wadding them tires up pretty good Tom, better try some of those Hoosier radial slicks :thumbsup: How did she run in the pic?

That looks first class, Tom. If you wouldn't have mentioned that the bumper was 'glass, no one would have known from the pics. That's the way they SHOULD look IMHO!

Tom,looks great :thumbsup:

I like the tags... TWO MPG <-- got to love it !

Bumpers look great and the wheels up too..... priceless (well, too much to list :D )

You still planning on Super Chevy Maple Grove this year??

Yes, interesting to see Bob, It ran a 10.575 with a 1.478 60 ft. Decent for the weather that day and I knocked 4 degrees of timing out of it and put the 850 carb on to stay in the 10.50 to 11.50 class.

I would try those slicks except I run in DOT tired classes most of the time. Maybe another set of rims and set of tires to swap in and out is in order.

Yes, It is still in the schedule, keeping fingers crossed the car stays healthy.

Thanks Bob..
Interesting to add is that is the original paint except for the hood
Picture makes it look a little better than it is, but she's scheduled for paint this winter as the lacquer is really thin on the top surfaces.

Looks Great !!!
