[Chrysler300] Ballpark price for bumper straighten & rechrome

["Terry Lynch" <terrytown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few months ago I was tapped from behind and the rear bumper on my '64 300 was bent in a moderate amount. The other driver was ticketed, etc but as is so often the case, his insurance was invalid. I couldn't get a good address or phone number for him and was unable to contact him. I didn't want to file a claim against my insurance so I just figured I'd just eat it and chalk it up to life.

I got a pleasant surprise yesterday when the fellow called me out of the blue and said he wanted to pay for the damages and make it right. I'm not sure of his motivation, I think the state might be making him do this before they'll re-issue him a drivers license. Or maybe guilt just got the best of him, who knows.

I want to tell him a fair dollar amount for the damages, but don't have a clue. What would be a ballpark figure to straighten out and rechrome a rear bumper for my '64? I don't need a super-duper quality show quality, but I do want it to look nice. If there is not a local shop to deal with, what would shipping run on a bumper?

Thanks,
