Topic: 67-68 Mustang REAR BUMPER core for rechrome maybe NOS?

I would prefer an October dated REAR BUMPER core, better if dated before the 20th if possible.

NOS is acceptable too. 

I may be interested in other dates for a core since my front is NOS anyways and not correct already therefore it may not be unreasonable to have one (off dated) the same on rear.

If anyone is VERY HAPPY with a quality aftermarket, let me know your take on those too (the "good", the "bad" & the "ugly"). I might end up going that route anyways (at least for the time being) if I don't find a good core or extremely nice 'otherwise'.

If you mean light scratchs in new chrome you can try polishing it with metal polish like mothers or semi chrome but unless they are very light they will not come out. Chrome is very hard and typically will not polish. re chroming is the fix.

I get the feeling any chrome shop would be more than willing to re-plate and 100% likely to not even try to work on it. (see pics below)

I ordered some of that semichrome paste to try
