Title: 1955 rear bumper
Post by: kedso on March 09, 2013, 12:06:42 PM
Hi all:
Anyone have a set of 55 rear bumper end caps for sale?  I sent mine out to be rechromed and the Plater ruined them.  They started out with a dent and a couple of pin holes and between acid soakes, welding and grinding and more grinding its easier to start over with new ones.  So if anyone has a set of bumper endcaps that are at least good cores I'm interested.
Thanks
Ed

Has anyone ever tried the zinc spray weld process?  I thought that might be a way to repair the damage.  Would that be a good base metal for chrome plating?
