Bob Drake '42-'48 bumper quality?
Curious if anyone has experience with and would care to share any comments or opinions with the quality the Bob's '42-'48 bumpers and maybe more importantly the chrome.
Deciding whether to buy a bumper or have mine plated at either the local economical place or the better place up north. |

Summit says they have some in stock; but while they show both center hole spacings in the spec's, they don't have a path to specify it in the order process. Drake doesn't either on their new "improved" web sight; while they did on the old one. |

I'm sure they will say the chrome and fit is the finest quality; but I have seen other repop bumpers and the quality ranges from great to "you call that chrome".

In any case, replating is expensive, but necessary for anything close to show quality. |
