RE: Bumper vendors?

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The fellow got a quote from Tri-City for 1963 Plymouth "B" cores without bumper guards: $495 (each) outright or $395 (each) with core exchange. Plus shipping.

That's more in line with musclecarbumpers, but still higher. 

By the way, on the vendor's page there is this listing: "Auto Medic Supply, in Tehachapi, California. At Mopar shows or you can ship the bumpers to them. They have free shipping back to you. Phone 866-441-7039" But that phone number is now the same as Muscle Car Bumpers in GA. Same business with a different address? Anyone know? 

Thanks,
Gary H.
