<DIV>I have three cars in my shop today that were painted by Maaco. I have
another that I plan to take over to the Layton shop to have done this
winter. I have nothing but high respect for the folks at the Layton
Maaco. When I did my 36 English built Hudson the average bid was $20,000
from the local shops. They all wanted to do it and said they were the
best. Paco, at Maaco did the job and it was under 3K. I would trust
them with any of my car work including fitting a new bumper.</DIV>

<P class=owaPara>11 to 18K????? Maybe on a Ferrari. Maaco did a
perfectly acceptable paint job for $395 on a Miata after we did the basic prep
work. They charged an addition hundred for the jams.</P>
<P class=owaPara> </P>
<P class=owaPara>I converted my B from a rubber bumper car to a bumperless old
style version for about $500 in parts (front and rear Sebring valances). I
made the plugs for under the tail lights out of foam and fiberglass and attached
them as extensions to the rear valance. I used the turn signal units from
the front rubber bumper. Modified an old B grill to finish off the
job.</P>

<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><BR>--<BR>Andrew<BR><BR>On 6/14/2013 3:20 AM, Barry Engstrum

<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>BarryE -

<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
