Anybody local have any Danco fiberglass front bumper fillers for '87 turbo Buick?

[Gary Wells]

Anybody local have any new, never installed Danco fiberglass front bumper fillers for '87 turbo Buick for sale?
I have a set coming but not for several weeks.
I can either buy a local set or borrow someone else's until mine get here?

Gary, I have a set of fronts and rears for my 85. They have been moved from shelf to shelf for about 3 years now...

I have done a little prep to the fronts with filler primer, just block sanding them to make sure they are even. You can borrow these until yours get here if you want. I am not really in a big rush. (obviously )

Are you coming down to Qualcomm tonight, or know anyone who is that is closer to you? I could bring them to QC.

Did you pick up another car, or are you just stashing the OEM's for later on the white car?

Let me kick this around a bit and get with SPOOLFOOL2 on it. Mike is more familiar with the shop than I am. I have the car going in a shop Mon. after next Mon. I have to get with the shop and see if they will allow me to use ones that have been worked on. I ordered a set last night direct from Danco, but the estimated ground shipping is 2 to 3 weeks. Not hitting Qual Com, but I will come down and pick them up if the shop will go for it. Are those Danco fiberglass? I will get back with you. I'm not in a position to aggravate the shop any. I sincerely appreciate the offer.

No problem Gary, just let me know if they will work out for you. Yep, they are Danko fiberglass.

Gary, Highway stars has the original fronts. I would prefer to use them any day over the fiberglass ones unless you know something I don't ?

We all know that I don't know anything that you don't know.
In your position of selling that car I would have opted for originality and NOS also.
Even though I've heard that the glass is harder to work with and requires someone with experience in finishing and installing, it will probably never have to be done again.
And Mike, alias SPOOLFOOL2 used glass on his car, and what's good enough for Mike will work great for me.
But many thanks for the info.

The fiberglass fillers require a little work, but no more than you'd expect from any fiberglass body part. I installed a set on the race car. The mph blew out the old ones. I'm happy with the fit. I bought a set of front and rears for the other GN.

Gary,
I am banned form LS1tech for a month, so don't have access to any PM's we exchanged in regards to the fillers. I will PM you from here. They are all boxed up and ready to go.

Sorry, Lou, it's just the OCD, stubbornness, orneriness, & old age in me most of the time.
The doctors don't have me on Prozac for anxiety attacks & 3 different types of meds for my heart for just the heck of it.

Gary, wouldn't want you any other way.
