Having lurked here for several years I feel comfortable enough to ask for a hint on new bumpers. Do any of the reproduction bumpers fit correctly? Any particular brand or vendor to stay away from. Looking fot fit and finish and service life of those originally on the car in 68. Thanks for sharing your successes and failures.

Nothing reproduction seems to fit right, although I can't speak specifically of the bumpers. The ones I've looked at did seem thinner than the originals though. I'd find some decent originals and have them rechromed. That's what I did with mine.

First choice would be to have the originals re-chromed. The re-pro bumbers are OK, but the originals are slightly better quality. I never had a problem fitting re-pro bumpers because there is a lot of 'play' to position things in place before final tightening. Sheet metal panels are a different story - they don't fit well at all.
