That is an AWESOME car! I am just curious where you got the bumpers from. I have a 67 Fury too and need new bumpers... before leaving two grand for rechroming mine might be interesting to save some weight... I am living in Germany, so did you get them from an European source? Greets Flo

I had mine made locally, I think it's the only way to get fiberglass parts for any C-body. Not the cheapest way to make one off fiberglass parts, the hood and the bumpers cost me 700€, and because I know the maker so well, didn't pay much else than the materials. I now have molds for them. The plan is to have molds also made out of the fenders and the doors, just in case of an accident, but it's not the first thing to do at the moment. Have you thought about getting your bumpers rechromed in the eastern Europe? My guess is that it should cost way less done for example in Poland. BTW, I also have the steel bumpers left. They don't have very good chrome either, but are rustfree and completely straight.
I already sent you an email. Would be great if you reply with phone no. We should get a deal! As you have dies I would be really interested in getting a price for the bumpers! Personally I would say 700 is an EXTREMELY good price for bumpers and hood. I want bumpers only as I already got my car painted... I dont know how much shipping is from Finland down here... I thought about going east for chrome... already going east inside of gErmany helps cutting costs... but my bumpers are kind of dented and scratched it will be a bit of work to get them redone...
