Ask around at any gathering of rods, customs, trucks, bikes, etc. and you'll probably find a good one in your area. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 | There are ads in the back of alot of the street rod mags too. I've seen a couple services listed in the back of Custom Rodder & Street Rodder.

You will have to have a good bumper core to give them (the bumper company). If yours is bent they can use it as long as it is not bent really bad.
You may have to check with several places in order to find one that will do it. Most of these places do work for late model vehicles and may not want to do something that old, but I know some will.

Is this true?
