Lou,

A group of us had some rear bumpers produced by a fellow in Ohio. They are 
really quite excellent, but being hand made, and the fellow having personal 
problems, they have taken an extremely long time to be made. There was an 
initial order of around 20 pieces, and some of these may still not be 
finished and delivered. This process has taken well over two years. I really 
don't think he's willing to take on any more, nor would you want to wait 
that long for them.

Any repros I have seen are not nearly as curved as they should be. These 
should parallel the rear of the body as viewed straight down from above. If 
they are too straight, it results in the number plate lamp almost touching 
the body, and the gap between bumper and body being very uneven and 
unsightly.

I really don't know what to recommend at this point.

Rich Chrysler
