Topic: Original Bumper

[Stangly]

I believe I have two original bumpers but am not completely sure.  Here are the numbers I found on each of them.

Rear-M9 69, 65 1 from an earlier post I believe it translates to Monroe Sept 1969, June 5 first shift.

Front-69 M9, 11 11 3  Monroe September 1969, November 11 third shift.

The bumpers show no pitting but do need some minor straightening in a few places.   I'm wondering if it is feasible to have these replated.  Should I attempt to straighten the imperfections my self or leave that to the plater.  I live in North Dakota so I will need to ship them out for plating.

Thank you,

I have good luck with Sioux Plating in Sioux City South Dakota. I would let them do the striating. I think the last I had done it was $240-$250 each.

Good luck Marty

wow that sounds like a good price.

[Stangly]

Would reproductions have these part numbers and dates.  That price sounds pretty good if they're originals.

[ruppstang]

The reproductions do not have the part number on them. That price was based on a useable core. I all ways ask for the to do mine so I retain the correct date codes. They have a outlet in Lincoln NE. so I drop them off there. It is very covenant. I used them for our 68 HCS. Marty

Marty,

Thank you for the awsome tip, that is pretty close to home.  I will definately check them out it sounds like my best bet.

I had really good luck with a place called North Star plating in MN.  They redid my original front bumper that a few minor dings--looks perfect and the date codes are still intact.

[Stangly]

Thank you this is even closer to home, I could drop these off depending on what part of the state they are located.  Thanks guys for the leads.

IMHO the "best" is not good enough for a concours car. Suggest that you try and get a couple of originals and have them replated.

Just me and what I do for anything other than my drivers/beaters
