You will have to find some junkers and have them re-chromed, or pay an arm and a leg from guys like BumperBoyz and they have a bad reputation. They travel the circuits of the car shows with a big truck loaded with big sellers but supposedly can get you almost any bumper. It is up to you...

As far as price? Lots of dough either way,

another link to some info.

I had two valve covers chromed for a price of $50.00. They said a bumper could be anywhere from $500 on up depending on the labor time involved, that was with me providing a bumper. Without a core to work with it would be more.

I doubt it, not for an Olds. That is the problem, if there isn't a bow tie on the front grille you won't find many aftermarket/parts suppliers. Your best bet would be to find some good used ones, junk yards, ebay, etc... Good luck in your search.

Diablo, where are you located? I've got a 1977 Delta 88 pace car that I may dismantle. Not sure if the bumpers are the same but they might be. I'm located in Medford Oregon.
