Default Hey!! You chrome bumper guys!!

I've only been around here for a month or two and own a 76 that I hope never to get rid of. HOWEVER, all of y'all with the bumper vettes have got me itch'n for one of them two . I mean those things are H...O...T, HOT! Guess I'll just have to build a bigger shop when I get around to it to accomadate this sickness they call Corvettes. Just thought I'd share but I'll just keep drooling as the fever gets worse.

If (hopefully when) I get another corvette it will have to be a black chrome bumper with side pipes; I'm not sure if I would get a coupe or convertable, though.

Yeah...yeah. That's pretty much what I'm talkin' about.

Maybe I'll just find some old chrome bumpers and some 2 ton epoxy and attach them to mine. Oh wait...

btw- that is an absolutely gorgeous Corvette.

SacredGrooves,
That is one outstanding Corvette.
Is that a paintjob or did you get a bunch of mirrors and glue them to your car? What a shine.
Very very nice.

We are opposites .... ....all I have ever had is small block - steel bumper Vettes.....I have been itching for a rubber bumper Big Block. I got mine this weekend. The bumpers need replacing, but the BB is a BLAST.

Pull that trigger .... go get you that chromie !

Hello my name is Robbie and I am a Corvetteaholic.My problem began at a young age and rapidly progressed when I was 15 due to a black 1977 Corvette, Since them I have been a slave to my Cars and the little 7,500 square foot garage I built for them!
I feel your love for the chrome its just beautiful
