Even shipping is reasonable. Forgot to mention in my above post they estimated $45 shipping for a 68 Galaxie front bumper.

Wanted to thank you for pointing me to Tri-City Plating. Sent my front bumper to them two weeks ago and have it back already. 45 shipping and 335 for triple plating. Even fixed a small hole someone drilled in top of bumper. Lifetime warranty for the vehicle.

You guys are crushing me.
I'm so close to finishing my project. Definitely this year. Been going on for 8 years.
I've been telling my wife I'm down to the grill shell and a dash pad. $600&$300.
Oh yeah!!! Forgot the bumbers,,, now another $1800. She'll be so pissed. Oh well.
Great thread.

I got a quote from them last night after seeing this thread. Just wondering how you packaged your bumper, and how did they for the return trip? Also, what carriers were used?

I shipped mine by wrapping in bubble wrap then taped cardboard around it. They shipped it back wrapped in some sort of padded paper with cardboard wrapped around it. I shipped mine ups from MI to Tn for 45.00. No damage.
