<div class="moz-cite-prefix">There are instructions out there, and a
kit from moss. It requires some welding and paint. While I can
weld, I haven't had much practice since my highschool shop
classes... I wouldn't want to take a torch to my B! And I have
no experience with painting and body work. I spoke with the shop
in Colorado. Most of the work has do be done on the front end of
the car, the part of mine that isn't damaged... All of the work
goes for about $2500, and then comes any needed body work and
paint... <br>
<br>
As there is paint work required at both ends, if I don't do the
whole car, there will be blend marks. I am a bit bummed about
that. Painting the entire car right runs in the 11,000-18,000
range. <br>
<br>
I am not looking for a concourse car though, and that much for me
on a B is out of the question, so I have some $ choices to make.
I might end up with a rubber bumper car at the end of this yet...<br>

<div dir="ltr">I would think that there are step by step
instructions on the internet. There might be a You tube video
on how to make the change. It can't be that hard, you might
need the attaching hardware and it could be just a bolt-up. I'm
sure that you would get a lot of help from club members. I
can't help for 2 weeks.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hopefully you don't have to haul the car out
here to Colorado just for a bumper. However, I have never
come across a finer shop than Sportscar Craftsmen. They are
a fantastic shop and a great resource for hard to find parts
as well.

<div dir="ltr">Good news, Andrew. Perhaps someone
in the club who has done this conversion can
help you, rather than hauling it 1000 miles.<br>
<br>
How about it, guys. Anyone done this conversion
or know who can do it locally?<br>
