Portland Swap meet

[57chero]

I was out at the Portland (Oregon) Swap meet yesterday. I was wandering around and there was four or five chrome plating out fits there all from California so I stopped at one called D&R CHROMEcorr and was looking at all the wrapped up bumper's on their rack and noticed a front and rear bumper marked 57 Ford sedan, so I asked them how much there were he said $500 with a core or $600 out right wow that's really reasonable, they had a bumper there that showed all the stages of plating and the finished product and it looked beautiful to me. I don't know it could be a source for somebody needing new bumpers.

Just make sure they parent business is not bumper boyz.  There are horror stories from them. 
Also that seems reasonable.  If the rear comes with the guards even better.  Guards are about 100-150 each rechromed.

Les from Colorado SPrings got some stuff from D & R back some years ago. Very good quality, and service as presented. They were doing the tri-state swap meet in Denver at the time. Nice to know D & R is still around.
Bumper Shop is where I got my stuff.........great quality and pricing, and definitely not to be confused with the Bumper Boys

If that is the place I am thinking of, they did a great job for some small stuff I had them do. I was told it goes south of the border gets chromed and brought back.
