Vette(s): 1970 stingray, t-top, mulsanne blue with black interior, 406 ci with 444 hp, racing suspension, hooker headers/sidepipes - SOLD :(
looking to try to replace the chrome bumpers on the 70 before I go out to my girlfriend's in July...really gonna be pushin it cause I want to redo the brakes and suspension before then too...but the rear bumper's chrome is startin to peel off and there's rust underneath...and the front bumper is bent a little bit off-center. since the car is gonna be in a show I'd like to have that stuff done, but it's not essential. anyway...any place to get bumper replacements other than corvette america, who doesn't seem to have rear bumpers?

I've used the Bumper Boys (twice) for rear bumpers for my 72...
1st set discolored within a year....second set has been on the car 5-6 years now and still look like new... Crap shoot I guess...
They were pretty good to deal with (face to face at Spring Carlisle) did not get the royal run around (hassle) from them...
Not many Chrome boys out there anymore since the laws on TOXIC waste went into effect...
Lots of luck...

I saw a set of reproduction rears for sale on Ebay at 70stingray store, says they're triple chrome. $325.50 with free hipping. I think he's a past member here.

You can check with some of the Vette parts houses. Some of them sell bumpers that are supposedly made by the original subcontractor for GM on the original tooling. It's at least worth looking into.
