recently I saw a bumper conversion that looked pretty interesting. I ve looked around but can seem to find any other information on this.. I believe it had a face book link but seeing I don't do face book im hoping someone may be able to help. I have a 76 and looking to do a front and rear conversion

Front and rear conversion to what? Are you wanting to put chrome bumpers on this car like thje 1968-1972 style?

yes its a 76 that I have. The conversion is a bolt on to take the place of the factory rubber bumpers. I believe they are also doing the bumpers in glass

There's a guy Don Anderson I met at the ncrs winter meet that has front and rear conversions. His best contact is facebook.www.facebook.com/glasworks very nice guy craftsmanship is right there.also has fiberglass replacement bumpers for early c3 vettes in addition to the late to early conversion.

That's funny, I don't either. I gave him my phone number because I had an idea for a project.I think someone posted his stuff on the forum somewhere so you can see it.

jkippin

I can't help with pricing etc but I can.say the fit finish and quality is right there. Have a friend with Facebook.

Looks clean. Would look even better if those seams were glassed in.

Side-Pipes would make this car Pop-

Blending in the seams are certainly an option but the fact they fit so well like this makes this an easier option. I think the cars a work in progress, so maybe sidepipes are in the future. And perhaps some other cool stuff.

I know I am going to get my a$$ handed to me with this comment. But I would NOT advise filling in the seams.

It can be done but it also can be a problem getting it right. And I know...I know....I have had people tell me that they did it and it all turned out perfect..until they bring the car to my shop and I can see a ghost line where the two panels were bonded together and ALSO had fiberglass mat and resin applied on the seam. Bonding handlaid polyester fiberglass bumpers to facotry SMC is do-able...but there can be problems.

The car can look great in the garage abut when it goes out in the sun....WHAM...the line appears.

So...a person can do as they wish...all I hope for is I do not come across a thread asking how to get the ghost lines that appear that were not there initially.

is this conversion by Don Anderson with the glassworks face book page. Does anyone know how to get in touch with him besides using facebook? I don't social network

I got his card and it's only Facebook. I gave him my number because he was looking into something for me.
