Where do you get the bumpers and how they fit? The bumpers are made by a company called Glastek.......they sell 'glass hoods, bumpers, fenders, etc. Essentially, they're racing bumpers, but have enough resiliance, I believe they will last. You have to use bumper bolts. As far as fit, they fit the car fine, really pretty good replicas of the originals....even come with bosses for the park/backup lights. The rear bumper went on without a hitch, but the front one doesn't have the bracket which is welded to the original front bumpers, so you have to make a bracket to bridge the space between the bumper and the original mount arms. |

denis: Can't get a pic of the brackets.....no room to get a pic and removing them isn't a fun task. Here is a drawing of the bracket I built to attach the front bumper to the existing frame to bumper mounts...please excuse my drawing....my old tech illustration days are quite a few years ago. You'll have to form the sheet metal to fit the shape of the backside of the bumper. It'll take two guys to get the angle right....I did it by myself, and had to duct tape the bumper in tentative position to mock up fit. postcar: thanks for the input on Glasstek. The bumpers were made by them, but I remember I bought them thru another outfit who, as I remember does carry other fiberglass parts, but I can't find my receipt. Sorry.  |

Just checked the site now (6:00 pm Sunday 4/29) and they have hoods, both bumpers, a grill replacement panel, and trunk lids, pictures of all as well. They also list 64 fenders. |
