presnell Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I need a front bumper and grill assembly for a 1960 AMT or SMP Chevrolet or El Camino. I am restoring an El Camino that i had as a child, and have found all the parts except for the front bumper. If anyone knows of any aftermarket bumpers for this model that are available you can point me to those as well. I have looked extensively for one and cannot find one anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) That is a tough one Jim. I am not sure if the newer 1960 Chevy kit front bumper fits or not. I think it is a Revell kit. Edited December 25, 2022 by 1930fordpickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presnell Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 Thanks for the reply, Andy. I have tried one out of the Revell '60 Chevy and it didn't quite fit. Maybe AMT will re-issue the 1960 El Camino in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) Jim I tired the Revell front and rear bumpers on my 60 wagon that needs them and i agree with you they dont even look right to me on the AMT ones.

misterNNL Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have the original SMP front bumper and grille that you're looking for. Long ago I very carefully cut the grille off of the bumper. They can be reattached easily and the cut will not show. Rechroming would be called for on this 62 year old part. Contact me if you're interested.

presnell Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 I'm sorry you couldn't find my message. I probably did something wrong sending it. Just let me know how much you want for the grill and bumper, or if there's a certain part you're looking for we could trade. I have an extensive collection of models, so if you're looking for something I just might have it! I sent a private message because I figured we would need to exchange addresses and other personal information, and I figured we probably shouldn't do that on a public forum. I'm going to try to send another to see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
