69 rear bumper fit
« on: July 12, 2015, 09:47:39 PM »
I've been in the process of restoring a 69 fastback for several years.  I bought it disassembled and have had to acquire many missing parts over the years.  Finally got around this weekend to installing a repo bumper I bought many years ago and it is not even close to fitting, sticks out on ends about 3/4" past fenders.  does anyone know of a good repo bumper, don't have an original to rechrome or I would have done that.  The one I have is a Nordan.

Nope - don't know of any repo that fits as well as an original.  Have an old Nordan (25 or so years old) on my 69 also and its too wide - But I resist putting on a NOS one I have. Should just find a nice date coded one - at least to put on the shelf for the car
