    I straightened the rear bumper and valance on my 73 Maverick. I will be needing a better or new rear bumper in the future. Still too bent to re- plate.

    No such thing. A good chrome plating shop can fix anything before they chrome it.

    That makes me feel better. I was wondering if any 73 front bumpers were left.

    I have a 73 front, full assembly.. just swapped to skinny front and may soon change the rear to chrome. Front is good, rear has just a few ripples in the bottom, both painted. That front assembly is heavy!

    I paid $50 recently for a used fiberglass hood with a big hole cut in it for a 671 blower. Got a harwood 2 1/2" fiberglass cowl and having it grafted in. Think it looks a little more subtle than some of the others I've seen. Went today and gave it a thumbs up for completion.
