Description

Reproduction front bumper for the 67-68 Cougar. Constructed from steel and triple chrome plated via chromium-nickel electroplating for enhanced corrosion resistance, durability, and shine. Made to match the factory original in both looks and fitment.

Please know that chrome cracking from the installation of bumper bolts on these bumpers is not covered under warranty. We have observed that some reproduction wavy washers are of a thicker material than original and require more torque to flatten out properly for a good fit. We suggest that no matter what thickness your repro wavy washer is that you flatten them out in a vise prior to installation so as not to have to apply as much torque when installing. Better yet, reuse the originals whenever possible.

* New State of the Art Chrome Plating Process is now being used!
The Quality Regulations used for plating these bumpers exceeds the GM4374 Guidelines. (Yes, we realize this is a FORD Bumper) For those that are aware of these requirements will also note that GM is much more strict than others including Japan, Britain & other USA plating requirements for automotive bumpers.
There are 62 different stations / processes that each bumper goes through.
Some of the steps involved are:
Raw bumper stamping is Sanded &Buffed
Inspection / Quality Control
Alkali Cleaning
Water Rinsing
Direct Electro Cleaner (1)
Water Rinsing
Acid Activation
Water Rinsing
Reverse Electro Cleaner
Water Rinsing
Direct Electro Cleaner (2)
Water Rinsing
Acid Dipping
Water Rinsing
Flash Nickel

Water Rinsing
Semi-Bright Nickel
Strike Nickel

Bright Nickel
Microporous Nickel
Water Rinsing
Prechrome Activation
Chrome
Hot Pure Water Rinsing
Inspection / Quality Control
Copper is NOT being used for costs & environmental reasons.
The traditional Triple Plate that use to refer to copper, nickel & chrome has been replaced by nickel, nickel & chrome. So this is still a "triple" plated bumper with plenty of protection against corrosion and a superior chrome finish.

David P (1968 Cougar)

1968 Cougar front bumper reproduction.

I should have kept the original bumper re-chromed once 25 years ago on the car, but I've stored that bumper and won't sell it. The ACP repro is made in Taiwan, chrome is good, but there is a little "bugger" imperfection about the size of a pencil eraser. Fitment is ok (the new pieces were challenging to fit on the assembly line), but the right side sticks out a little far. I tried pushing that side up against a tree without much success - I'll just live with it. There are fewer re-plating shops left, since the EPA regulations for waste disposal are so expensive, so these re-pops are a good alternative. Much more expensive than '68 Mustang re-pro bumpers, but it's all about supply and demand,
