    that was my thinking...as a matter-of-fact...when I got the bumper i had pulled it to get the brackets. the guy at the junkyard charged me $10 for the brackets and gave me the bumper...:thumbs2:

    Wow! Just think what they can do with a straight bumper. Looks like you found a good place for rechroming.

    Southern Bumper did a great job with my Falcon bumpers too. When I went to pick them up they told me that they wasn't happy with the results of the rear bumper the first time and had to do it 3 times to get it perfect. They know their bumpers too. When I was getting my bumpers out of the truck...the lady was standing 50+ feet from me yelled out "Are those 60 or 61 Falcon bumpers?"
