I've never liked body-colored bumpers... but this doesn't look too shabby

[41husk]

Ah yes hound! Cuda kens old ride.  how is that comming? do you still have the car?

[MOPARHOUND!]

Yes.  Engine planned for it had problems, so it is at the machine shop.  Parts on order from Summit.

The painted bumper will get replaced with a newly chrome plated one.

Have a restored grille waiting to go in it, and the front turn signal lamps for the valance.  Still needs the floor replaced, and some underside rocker work.  Sure is purty though:

Don't tell him I said this but, Thank God!

Is Ken coming back or has he dumped us for good?

Ugh...Mopar Rally Wheels. 

They look too utilitarian on a second gen. 

Especially since they are only for one year 2nd gen Chargers. Rallye's on a 68/69 just don't blend. It's the second greatest Chrysler wheel behind the '68 chrome magnums. Worse thing they did was discontinue them.

[Charger_Fan]

That doesn't look all that bad. I wonder about other body colors with the black bumper? Didn't CudaKen have a red painted bumper?

I would never do it on a '70, that's for certain.

68's & 69's look better with painted bumpers than 70's do...however, I think a couple colors could possibly be doable, I just haven't seen them yet. I do think 3rd gen's with hideaways look pretty damned good, though.
Here's a couple '70 examples on this subject, the GL owner is a member here...





Here's a yummy 3rd gen example...

I've been considering painting the bumpers on my '69 the body color, which is black.  Only because I currently can't afford to re-chrome them, or buy re-pops.   I still can't decide if I like the look though...    Although the black would probably still look better than the worn, peeling, rusted bumpers I've got.

If you want a temporary fix you could always scrub the rust off with some tin foil. The rust will come back but it'll buy you some time until you can afford new bumpers.

Thanks Bull.  I'll try that first, we'll see how they come out before I do anything like painting them.
