Default Where to find a '69 Camaro chrome rear bumper with hidden hardware?

Like the title says. Any direction would be most appreciated. I did search and found nothing. Does my OEM style need welded and rechromed or does someone sell them ready to go?

Thanks!

Its EDP coated but may be easier to send to chrome than the work
to get yours ready.

I spoke with year one and those bumpers have filler in them so chroming would be a no go...

they would need modified anyways. have a customer car in the shop and the rear bumper is too wide for the car. going to have to suck it in just to get it back to stock width.

Actually, it is rather easy to make your own. Just takes lot of work to do it right. Just use a NOS bumper. (Don't use repro, you hate it) Some people only weld around the stud, but eventually it will pop out. So on mine we the stud was sunk down to about 1/32" or so and we built it up with weld, and smoothed it with the sander. Lot of work to do, but it will not come out. I had a local chrome shop that re-chrome the bumpers. Actually, another chrome shop told us on the correct method to do it. Although, they recommend that to do it ourselves.
