His car is to pristine to paint the bumpers ...IMO
That would be a hack job
Right, this is just to get bumpers on the car until he can find new ones.
A few years ago, I bought a SS front bumper and while shiny, the face was so rippled as if it were polished over mill scale that I put about 10 plus hours flat filing it smooth enough to hand over to a polisher to finish. I was very disappointed in the vendor's quality. It was either Snyders or Brattons' I complained, but not loud enough. I had used SS bumpers about 20 year earlier and the SS was nicely polished.

Fordm. Is the chassis under your roadster made ready to take a RHD steering column? I believe Canadian Model A chassis were made that way and I'm assuming yours is a Canadian car.

Hi synchro,
Yes she is a true Canadian car and yes she is made also for right hand drive for the export market.

Just for information, I just had my front bumpers chromed by Edmonton Bumper repair. They did a good job for $700.00. There not show chrome but good for a driver/show car. They use Greyhound bus for shipping. If I remember that was $75.00 return. There turn around time is about 4 -6 weeks. Remember if your getting parts out of the US. these days the cost will be almost double or more by the time it gets here.
Hope this helps. John Poole
