1912Staver Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Do you ever go to the Washing State swap meets ? There is a company that seems to be always at meets like the spring Puyallup and spring and fall Monroe meets that is very popular. I have not used them myself but based on the amount of business they are doing they must be doing something right. I believe the name is " Bumper Boy's " Anyone in the Pacific North West that more first hand experience ? Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it politely: From what I've heard of others' experience, I would absolutely find someone else. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Bumper Boys products are rechromed in Tijuana and are known to be of inferior quality. They may look great at first but after a year or two there will be peeling and cracking. Pay a little more from a different company. Good luck.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasscarguy Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 This weekend is the early bird swap meet in Puyallup, Good luck brasscarguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Thanks for the information. Popular does not always mean good quality. I thought they were a local { Washington State } company. Makes sense though. If you are going after the most price conscious customers you must minimise all costs especially labor. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Have any of you used Vancity Plating in Vancouver B.C.? Edited February 13, 2020 by Bloo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeleh Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Steve at Victoria plating did the rear bumper on my 62 Lincoln last year including the bumper ends for what I thought was a reasonable price under $1000 cdn and they did a nice job. oldglassman would you happen to be on Vancouver Island? I have a couple project cars that need complete flat glass cut and installed if you have any recommendations Edited February 13, 2020 by Modeleh (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepher Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 These guys specialize in 55, 56 and 57 Thunderbirds but you may want to give them a call and see if they have anything for your car. They occasionally have parts for later years as well. http://prestigethunderbird.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
