Title: Bumper bar repairer needed!!
Post by: yianni351 on October 19, 2010, 08:27:51 pm: Hi All,
I have a 66 VC Valiant that needs the front bar straightened and re-chromed.
Is there anyone in Sydney that can straighten them before re-chroming ???

I'll have to chase up Roy and find out who he is ,as I want some Jag ones done as well. The bloke a Dolley's Rocks Rd was ok as well. Last lot I had done by the old bloke a Wondal rd wynnum was $600 each. He charged me 290 for an MGA grill suround and to be truthfull it wasn't that good, lucky I'm selling it.

Post by: boofhead on October 20, 2010, 08:20:43 pm: I do not want to sound like a tight-ass but at $600 a shot it would have to be a first class job.

I am still interested in the information if you get a chance.

So BLKBNY: What would the estimated price be in VIC?

Post by: shaunp on October 20, 2010, 08:28:45 pm: Yeah and they weren't, hense why we need to find out who Roy uses, he did his 56 chev coupe bars I think as well. Chrome aint cheap, unless it's done in China it seems.

Post by: BLKPNY on October 20, 2010, 09:05:12 pm: I think vinney said $300 or so , for used bars. I was quoted about $200 to rechrome new bumpers

Post by: boofhead on October 21, 2010, 08:56:53 am: $300 for the pair I would be very interested. I do assume it is a triple coat - meaning they don't (conveniently) forget the first copper coat?

I wonder what it would cost to get them to him?

Post by: boofhead on October 21, 2010, 08:00:11 pm: I can live in hope. Though I agree with you - if it is to good to be true then it most likely is. I have just read the sentence literally.
