[Roadsters] thinning grinding bumper question

[Landis, George M {PEP}]

Dave
Ronan is going to call is next week with dates.  He is going back to Israel sometime in May.  He was very excited to have the meeting.  
Today was a great one for Sabra Dipping Company and it was a great day for Frito Lay as well.  
The opportunity for Sabra is staggering.   
Thanks for letting me be apart of this. 

I believe we laid some good foundation today with more to come. 

Hope you have a great week end
GL

Hello, Usually you have to weld a plug in when you have a hole.  There are 
many different ways to do this and not all bumper platers are the same. 
There is a vast difference in quality when it comes to filling in holes, and 
yes I have had it done before to save a core that had rust damage.  I have a 
plating shop that my companies Twin Leaf Manufacturing and Fairladyparts.com 
use.  They are able to weld a plug in from behind any small hole and then 
fill in above with copper and they always have very good results.  So if you 
have a bumper with holes don't throw it away, it is still usable.   To 
answer Linda's question the cost of rechroming varies depending on the shop, 
some are more expensive but sometimes you get what you pay for.
Later, Gerardo
