anyone buy a part that just bolts on,,,, didn't think so.. on my 4th front bumper for my 68 bird . avoid these bumpers at all cost horrible fit around front left lower left grill. why release these thousands of untested parts just to piss off all the restorers that try them. I came to the conclusion that the only part that just bolted on without issues are the ones that came off when new, I buy 2000 worth of parts and send back 1800 really sets you back. bring the manufactures back to the good old USA so the fit and finish is acceptable again I would pay triple for a good fitting part so frustrating ..Im sure were all feeling this way

I bought my rear bumper from AMD for my 68 and it fit like a glove, but then again its not having to be alingned with the hood, and both fenders either like the front bumper. havent got one for the front yet so i cant comment on that. I still got a ways to go before im ready for that so if you do run across one that fits decent please do share

Everything I have bought from OER for the most part is complete JUNK! I avoid them like the plague. I have gotten a few parts like the vent balls that fit good but guessing how hard is it to screw up a vent ball?

well after 5 bumpers 2 from oer 1 from dynacorn and 2 from amd I finally settled on the amd fit was ok after a few shims and a mallet blow here and there so if you need a front bumper order an amd from jegs 175 free ship w/ military account and the most important thing they paid the shipping if it was a defect..
