Not certain Matt, never got that far. There are many good plating shops across the country that could provide you with an estimate. Sorry I can not be much help here.

Please take note of the customized mounting brackets, in particular the lower and center mounts. The outer mount is stock. My application was a 1967 resto-mod which we fabricated custom mounting brackets as opposed to utilizing the stock brackets. One could easily accommodate stock mounting brackets if so desired.

I would be more than happy to address any questions that you may have. Please call me anytime 262-488-7220. Thanks.

I plagurized the idea from a pro-touring C2 that I viewed at a car show. The bumpers were back-capped enclosed and brought closer into the body panels with only a 1/4" gap. The look was amazing. I wanted to post the pictures I took of that particular car, but can't seem to locate them. Will do so when I locate those pictures.

Greetings Jay, sorry can't be much help here. I had this work done by a local welder whom is no longer in business. I tried reaching out to him to complete the back set and no luck.

I would suggest locating a talented welder in order not to warp the bumper surfaces. I watched my welder complete the work, he would weld an inch or two, then dip the bumper in water to cool, repeating the process till complete. Very time consuming, thus why my asking price. I Hope this helps.
