I'm having my Avanti painted next week. While the front bumper is in good shape, the rear bumper has bad chrome. Does anyone have a nice one for sale, and if so, how much? Thanks!

Send it to Jerry Forrester in Georgia to be rechromed. It will be PERFECT. Fair prices, fast personal service. He's a Stude guy and a member here.

I'll second Dick's comment. Jerry is a great guy and does great work.
Be warned, though. He'll try to talk you into putting a '53 coupe nose on your Avanti. [

Trust your bumper to one that has a great reputation. Notice I said great, not just good. Avanti bumpers are thin to begin with & unless they are prepared with care, they will come out all rippled & ugly. Jerry Forester is one that has that great reputation. I have been in the body shop business for over 40 years & have seen parts get ruined & LOST! Bad chrome is worse than cheap paint. At least cheap paint can be redone but if a bumper is "buffed" badly, it may or may not be restorable, especially one from an Avanti.

I'm sure this Forrester place does great work. But they didn't return my phone call or email message, so I worked out a deal to get one elsehwere. Thanks.edp/NC
