Sent my rear bumper out to Forrester's for rechrome. Jerry tells me it is not salvageable. For one thing there is a bend that will always look wavy. So - anyone have a good 51 Coupe rear bumper? Want to match my original (horizontal member with two verticals). Thanks. Russ

50-52 bumpers will interchange, but 51-2 are slightly different on edges. I can sell you a ready to install bumper for your car for $375.00 w/o core or I can straighten your old one to perfection. A good core is $55.

When I told you the bumper was bent, you said FedEx must have done it because you didn't notice it when you removed it from the car. And now you post a picture of the bent bumper before boxing it up for FedEx.
There's no way you could not have known this bumper was bent when you pulled it off the car. the end of the bumper had to have been sticking out from the side of the cat at least 4 inches.
And when you said those guards are 'small guards' and tried to beat me down on the price of the job. I knew I was through with this job.
You need to either buy a finished bumper from Barry or have FedEx pick up the bumper and guards you sent me and deliver them to Barry for refinishing. I'm sure he has a '51 or '52 Stude he can test fit the bumper on after straightening it to make sure it fits correctly before sending it to the tanks for plating.
I don't have a '51 or '52 Stude to test fit it on.
I'm sorry we can't do business, but have a nice day.
