 thanks   

if their doing 70 bumpers how long until they do the fenders to match

That is good & surprising news!
I wonder what the pricing will be? (It's a BIG bumper to chrome.)
Could fenders & hoods be too far behind? 

[projectanimal]

Great news!!

[nvrbdn]

atleast it got me to remember 70 charger registry and go apply.

SWEET!!! now originals will cost less   

[nvrbdn]

i got one if someone needs it. but it has to be rechromed.(or painted) guess i could take pics and put in for sale or trade. oh well, just at work and thinking.

AMD even

Id think the demand for fenders or hoods would outweigh bumper demands. Atleast you can rechrome the bumper.

That sounds too much like a sausagefest.

I thought that as well. 
But the tooling/production costs for fenders & the hood might be greater than the bumper. 
Either way, at least another '70-only part will now be available.

Agreed

My front bumper is over $1000 up here in Canada to rechrome so good news for me. I already bought an AMD back bumper. For the price i was happy.

If you use an original then you don't just have to buy it.  You have to buy it and then rechrome it, which basically doubles the price.   So a new repro can match the price of an original bumper much easier than a fender or hood.


I wish AMD would do 1968/69 bumpers.  They are already available but they are pre-AMD in quality so it's still preferable to re-use originals when possible.



Maybe this will get the chrome bumpers back onto the Fast & Furious Chargers once and for all. 
They went to fiberglass front ends on those cars a few movies ago because the 1970 sheetmetal was such a PITA to keep stocked.  The front bumpers started being painted black around the same time.

  good stuff , but supprised ,  at a 70 bumper being  repoped    supprised at 68 /9s too  would of though there was more important parts to be reproduced , not like the quality of these bumpers are 100%   ,  better off getting originals  re-chromed imo

How many more of those movies do you think there will be?

supposedly they planned for 9... before one of the main actors died though....

A lot hinges on this upcoming 7th movie. 

The director of the last 4 movies wrapped up the story at the end of #6 and left.  This is a new director restarting things a few years later in the timeline (which already kills two of the main characters).  And then Paul Walker got killed halfway through filming this fall.   

F&F is Universal Studio's biggest-earning active movie series.  They will go to a lot of trouble trying to salvage it.

Wonder how good these bumpers will fit, hopefully not like crap like most other after market parts.

And the finish? 
It's a BIG bumper. Takes a lot of work to get one nice & straight.
