    Description

    Reproduction rear 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

    Reverse Electro Cleaner

    Water Rinsing

    Direct Electro Cleaner (2)

    Water Rinsing

    Acid Dipping

    Water Rinsing

    Flash Nickel

    Water Rinsing

    Acid Activation

    Semi-Bright Nickel

    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    The traditional Triple Plate that use to refer to copper, nickel & chrome has been replaced by nickel, nickel & chrome.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.

    This item must ship via

    Shipping:

    You can ship your core to us for much less (depending on location) via USPS Parcel Post (www.usps.com) if you only use stretch wrapping. When we ship ours to you it costs more as we need to pad them properly and we add in insurance. Please call 503-463-1130 if you need more details. When sending us your core bumper(s) the following must be in place. We need a copy of your invoice or at the very least we need your invoice # from the top left corner and the date of your purchase.

    You can also Pre-Purchased UPS call tags from us. This allows you to purchase a shipping label to return your core to us at a discount over what the UPS depots and shipping centers will charge you. *READ MORE HERE* . The system will auto calculated the cost to send the core bumper from your Zip Code. You will receive an e-Mail with a link which leads you to a PDF for download or print. Your call tag is activated when the page is opened. Wrap your bumper and hand to a UPS driver, drop off at a UPS Center, or UPS Store.

    *** Keep in mind that when ordering multiple over-sized items from us online that the shopping cart does not know how to best combine items to save you the most money. If the shipping price looks to high, we suggest just selecting 'Manually Calculate Shipping" when checking out.

    Core Information:

    We use a practice called core matching; we compare the core you send, and we send you a re-chromed bumper that was done from a comparable core.

    Severely rusted, flattened, twisted, torn or bumpers with holes drilled in them are not good cores. If you have small holes drilled on the bottom side, we can use those but know in advance that if your cores have holes we will send you like quality, so expect to see "speckles" where the holes were filled. If you would like a better bumper in return we may be able to charge you an up-charge to receive a higher quality bumper. If you have questions about whether your core is acceptable email digital pictures to Orders@CougarPartsCatalog.com.

    *** Keep in mind we are currently in need of 69 front cores and 73 front cores without the holes for the horizontal black rubber impact strip. If you have extras you can get credit towards anything we have in stock.

    WCCC guarantees that our products are show quality and are free from defects. Damage caused by improper mounting / installation and or improper care will automatically void this warranty. Rust is also not covered by our warranty. Our products are covered for 2 years against peeling and fading starting from the date of the receipt. Peeling that is the result of rust is not covered. Please read the "Installation" and "Chrome Care" sections below to avoid voiding this warranty. The customer will be responsible for the return shipping costs as stated on our listing.

    Installation: Professional installation is not required. However, it is very important that you do not over-tighten the bolts. Doing so may cause the bolt to create an indentation on the bumper and cause the chrome to crack and/or peel. There is no universal tightening guide because every bumper's thickness is different due to the number of repairs. It is highly recommended that you use washers, lock washers and/or lock bolts.
    Inspection & Chrome Care: First, please remove your parts from the packaging that it was delivered in and test it on your vehicle. Despite our strongest efforts to protect the package from rough handling, sometimes the shipping courier still manages to damage the bumper. It is important that you test the bumper on your vehicle to ensure that it has not been distorted. Please notify us immediately if your bumper appears to be damaged so we can file a claim with UPS.
    In order to file a claim, you will need to keep ALL the original packaging materials. DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY. The longer you wait to report the damage, the less likely UPS will approve a claim. Another reason to remove your parts from the packing is because the cardboard packaging may absorb moisture that may cause corrosion if left in that state for an extended period of time. To preserve the quality of your chrome, it is best to keep the chrome parts clean and dry. Sand, rain water and salt water are corrosive and will damage the chrome over time if left untreated. When cleaning your chrome parts, it is important that you clean them by hand with mild soap and water. Please do not attempt to buff, polish, or wax your chrome until it is completely dry. Doing so can cause water / moisture to be trapped which will corrode your chrome. Rust is always caused from improper care. When buffing / polishing, always do it by hand to prevent stripping the chrome. We highly recommend using microfiber cloths when cleaning / detailing your chrome. In the unfortunate event that road debris hits and chips the chrome, it is vital to seal the area as soon as possible to prevent rust from forming which will lift the chrome in the surrounding area.
