I just purchased an Ausley's front bumper for my '71 Chevelle. They were running a special at $195. I haven't mounted it yet, but the finish looks excellent. The metal is thinner than the original bumper though.

I called Ausley's today (who we've never dealt with, but whom we've seen at Carlisles the past few years we've come). know come to Carlisle). The guy on the phone told me that they will indeed be at Carlisle this year and that their bumper prices are now $209 (pretty much matching the catalog prices of the other vendors we usually deal with). He said that they'll bring 5 of each year's bumpers by default and that they will bring extras labelled by customer name if requested at least 2 weeks before the show. So, anyone out there have any positive or negative stories to tell about Ausley's bumpers? I'm really hoping that they would bring one and let me examine it before they run my credit card (as I'd really like to look at the quality of any bumper before I commit to buying it), but maybe they won't do that. Also, anyone have a phone number for the Bumper Boyz, as I'd like to talk to them before Carlisle, too. Since we've never done business with them *and* we've heard some negative things about them, I'm a bit wary to do business with them (and there's no way I'm giving up my current bumper as a core!), but I figure I shoudl at least try to get as much info on every vendor that I can, since this is a piece fo the car that is going to be very visible! As always, thank for any opinions in advance, Jim -69-SS396- H. By the way, has anyone measured the thickness of an original NOS bumper against the ones of Ausley (or anyone else such as the Bumper Boyz, for that matter? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
