AZPartsLocators Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I recently picked up a clean original amt 1967 Impala convertible. It was store in a damp location for a ton of years so the bumpers and hubcaps have little to none of the plating left on them. I need both front and rear as well as the caps or someone that can refinish mine. Have lots to trade. Not looking for the reissue ones that aren't dated but the hubcaps would probably work. Have tons of stuff to trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSheep214 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Its easy to restore it yourself. Strip the chrome using bleach. Repaint it yourself using Molotow Chrome pen or Alclad chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it sounds silly but that is just the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZPartsLocators Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 I hate to just leave this in pieces. The rest of it is a really great vintage build. I would like to get it back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) IIRC, the only one left doing replating is Dale Horner, Little Motor Kar Company His e-mail is, lmkco@outlook.com Expect to pay about $4.50 per piece for bumpers. [plus shipping] , , , and it could take a couple months to get back. Some might say he's not in business anymore but that's B.S., I just had some stuff done up by him.

Honestly the price doesn't seem too bad to me. I will look into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZPartsLocators Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 Came up with hubcaps and a front bumper. I still need the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica007 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I've got a 67 bumper, but it doesn't have 1967 in the plate area. It's never been used, can you use it? If so, pm your address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate the offer but I am set on the rear bumper with the 1967 date plate as this is a really nice annual build up, I want to try and stay with era correct parts if at all possible.
