Rechromed Rear Bumper and Back-up Deletes
« on: July 10, 2013, 11:16:15 AM »
Hi all,

Figured I'd share, just got all the pieces for my 65 Buick 4 door Special back bumper (use to be Brian's)

I got the bumper re-plated by Microplaters in Flint Michigan, the actual place is in Westland took 4 tries to make it acceptable price was reasonable ($525), but they had it for a month lots of wasted trips

The backup deletes I had done by B & L Plating down at 8 and Groesbeck, very nice for the price ($100 each one) just took a while, but only ones I could find locally that did diecast
