Im looking at picking up a set of fiberglass bumpers for the 68...
I was wondering, is there anyplace that can chrome these? Or am I going to be stuck painting them?
Thanks, Jason graemlins/beers.gif

Look under Plastic Chrome Plating in a set of "Thomas Registers" and see what you turn up.
If you can't find a set at your Public Library, try a big factory by asking their Human Resources Manager for a favor by letting you have access to whoever has a set in their Company so you can ask him if you can look them over.
I used to use them alot when I was a Process Engineer in the Tool Engineering Section of WA Shaeffer Pen up at Ft. Madison, IA years ago to find stuff..
OR, heck, maybe the WWW will turn up some place too???
Good luck..

there was a guy who ran at a track up near me who had chrome glass bumpers on his camero, and i thought he said they were done in texas, about
$500 each-expensive, but looked great
