Hey , I need to beg,borrow or steal a '67 Beetle or earlier front bumper face bar .  I don't care about condition but it does have to be straight.  Having the mounting brackets would be nice.    
        Thanks

I think that I have one at home.  Not sure of the year, but I know I have one and possibly mounting brackets.  I will be home about 3 pm today and I will try to see what I've got.

Thanks Guy,  Any old style bumper will do as long as its a front.

I have some front and back, the front is good, the back has been touched by a cut off wheel to clear a stinger ,and a s-10 pick-up cause the guy was crazy... sooo I'm not sure of it's straightness...but their the euro-blade p.o.s. bumpers.  The front has what's left of the mounts...I cut them to make some T bars.  What do you need them for?  if it's a rough in these will work, anything else and they are just junk! :P

I just need to borrow it and see if I do something for a front bumper.  I really do not care for Nerf Bar. The way the hood and the rollover front fenders are built sorta leads me to try a honest to goodness bumper for Albert.   If I can work this out I will buy a new bumper.  
      Scott can have them If he wants them.
      Thanks for looking Rick

Ill bring em to the shop on Monday...gotta dig in the attic at the house. :D  Hey Scott, you guys can have the pair for $20.  The rear has the mounts and they both can be cleaned up pretty good with some steel wool.  I don't think the rear is really bent, just shifted a little.
