I am looking for front and rear bumpers for my 65 Skylark. I just went to get a quote on getting mine rechromed and they wanted $2200 (including my grill), way too steep for me. I live in CT if that makes any difference. Thanks...Joe
Skylark Bumpers I just got a BUMPER BOYZ price list yesterday at the Detroit swap meet.65 Skylark without exchange.Front $450.00 / Rear $450.00. plus Shipping. They had a truck at Detroit. Don't know how much traveling they do. www.bumperboyz.com They are out of LA. Phone#800-819009. Good luck .Dan
Just a word of caution. I wouldn't use them to rechrome my bumber bolts and many others have been burned by them too. Please do some research on any place you plan on spending any serious money. There was a thread on here about a shop that would do any bumper for $250/ea and their work was very very good. Someone on here should have the name and address handy
Thanks Doug, I appreciate the heads up. I tried their website and it is not up. There is a big swap meet in Springfield, MA next weekend, hopefully some good vendors are up there. If anyone has the contact info for the place Doug mentioned please let me know, I cannot justify spending $900 to get my front bumper rechromed...Joe
plating I had a bumper straightened and plated for a '69 skylark several years ago by advanced plating in Nashville, TN. At the time it was $200, but they are probably still reasonable. They did an excellent job. I don't have a phone number. You could call information or look on Yahoo. Good Luck!
There is a place called "Tri-City Plating" in TN. Other a-body forums have recommended this place, and I've read nothing but good things about them. www.tricityplating.com On the other hand, I've never heard anything good about the Bumper Boyz - stay away. Mark
plating Well here is the web site for Advanced, looks like they have moved: http://www.advancedplating.com/
Found the place DesertDog auto parts. They have website under same name. More can be found under the chassic restoration section thread titled chrome re-plateing.
I still have a rear bumper off of a 65 GS that is a good core.Not rusted through and one dent.Complete with brackets $50. +shipping from 33805.Ted
I maybe? Yo Ted. . I maybe interested in that rear bumper if Cane passes. ALSO. .can't remember what condition the steering wheel was in on that 65 you parted? Looking for a decent, semi cracked wheel to restore. . any color .. .. .. got one?? :TU: Wheelz
Hey Dennis, the bumper can be yours if Cane passes.The steering wheel was a cheap aftermarket Grant. Give me a call. I am not at the same place in Lakeland,have moved into much bigger place a few miles away. Ted
