Default Buy complete rear bumpers, where?

Where the heck can I find complete 1959 bumpers? I've been to seven or eight sites... no luck, or, can anyone tell me who will repair a damaged rear bumper (driver's side)?

Assuming the bumper is repairable most replating shops can fix them.. As far as finding some bumpers have you tried Vette Gal in Poway Ca or Paragon Corvette? You ll need to call for the latest inventory.

Last i heard they were $750.00 per

You asked for new or refurbished sets. I am sure yours would be salvageable. Chroming will cost you $$$$.$$ to get everything redone. Heck that's not counting some of the stainless steel buffing work.
