    A special thanks to Rusty Davenport, Chip at Tri City Plating and Eric and the staff at Gardner exhaust in
    putting together an N-25 conversion, Re-plating of bumper and manufacturing the n-25 tail pipes in record time to assist in the sale of my 70 GS455. I think the entire process took just over 45 days. The new owner expressed he wanted this done prior to taking delivery of the car. All involved were top notch and great to deal with over the phone and would like to express my appreciation for a job well done. The car looks great and sounds awesome.

    Bill's Auto Works QUALITY AT ITS BEST!

    I will add another vote for Chip @ Tri-City Plating!

    I have been to his place 4 times over the last year & I will be using them again in the near future. Even though they are closed Chip emailed me saying he would go in & ship out the bumper I am waiting for anyway!

    I am lucky as a transporter I can save on the shipping by dropping off & picking up my bumpers as I go by with a customers car.

    Chip also has about 5 acres of bumper cores on the property & is always buying more, so if your is too bad to rechrome, he may already have a good core for you.

    God Bless

    They have done 4 for me. 3 perfect right out of the box and one they made right at no additional cost

    Ryans-GSX Have fun, life is short.

    I need that done for my car. I love the N25 look but being my car is a 1970 I also would like the 70 rear bumper on my car. That looks really nice.

    I think Gardner gets them from tpp. They are 2 1/4” but worked great with his performance system that was already on the car. This is the first n-25 system I had ever dealt with and it went together effortlessly. I purchased the tips , hangers and tail pipes for the conversion through Gardner as a kit

    :D ThanX! I am considering using a new vendor for my STAINLESS 2.5" and 3" N25 tips... Back in February, I met with a new young fabricator and he is working on a prototype based on previous drawings... however, this CoVid thing has his production dept on hold for now. . .

    Exterior chrome on tips was good but inside of tip had signs of rust new out of the box. A s/s option would be the way to go for longevity

    I've been making SS N25 tips for since '94. Lost my fabricator over 3 years ago to heart failure...so I've kinda been looking around for an equally as QUALIFIED CRAFTSMAN ORIENTED replacement. . . . I've since learned there are certainly a lot of people out there who 'SAY' they know what they are doin, but then I see their work... :eek:o_O
