bumper rechrome

Does anyone know who does a decentjob rechroming bumpers for my 73 delta 88 convert. They are straight and have very little rust, just a little surface scuff. I'd like to keep it local in central Maryland. thanks

I"m not sure if your year has the rubber bump strip in the bumper or not. If it does, be real careful removing it. The bolt heads are molded into the rubber and if the threads on the back are rusty you can have problems. Twice I've tried to remove bump strips from mid-70's vintage bumpers and had some of the bolt heads break loose inside the rubber strip and start to spin. John
