On the subject of the bumpers. From experience, you can sand blast the
bumpers, prime with a good primer and paint and they really look nice. I
done mine on the 54 that away. On my 52, I had them chromed, but
couldn't afford it on the 54. Am still looking for a GOOD company to do
some chrome work. I also have a Powder Coating machine and Powder Coated
a lot of items. Am building an oven large enough to Powder Coat bumpers.
Am doing a lot of expermiting with the oven. If any one has any ideas,
feel free to contact me.
