Need some info on bumpers from Bumper Boyz from California. Are they rechromed originals or repops? What's your experience good or bad? Or can you steer me a different direction. Thanks.
 
the bumpers i received are original recromed. took 2 front bumpers and 3 rear bumpers to get something decent, still not show quality but i got tired of shipping back and forth
 
36 we found a pair of original '39 bumpers do you think we should just take them to a good shop to rechrome and be done with it? Your opinion?
 
It took Bumper Boyz 2 attempts to get the front bumper properly chromed on my truck. It might cost a few bucks more to get a local shop chrome the NOS bumpers you have, but in the long run I think you'll be money ahead.
 
Stay as far away as possible from Bumper Boyz. You will not get your original parts back and your sad story will be another addition to their infamous legacy.
 
that would be my choice. they are all expensive but at least if you get a local shop they will be a lot easy-er to deal with
 
Bumper Boyz has there parts re-chromed in Mexico and the quality of the polishing varies considerably. Look for a local plater and have them do it. When you can meet face to face with the man doing the work, you can better explain the quality that you want.

Check with the local street rodders and motorcycle enthusiasts for referances.
 
I like to sandblast the back of bumpers and guards that I send out. Usually the backside has rust on it and even quality shops don't blast it off and as the rust continues it will creep around to the good side under your new chrome.
