Bob's fiberglass and Spider bumpers

Original message:
This would be Bob Wright.  He's still around, and still building 
fibreglass
GTVs out of rusty metal ones.  The purists hate them, but if it means 
that
a car survives that would not otherwise, I'm all for it!

Chris (and others),
On the subject of fiberglass, do you know if Bob or anyone else does 
Spider bumpers?  The late safety bumpers over here in the US are 
becoming a real problem.  The metal piece underneath rusts from trapped 
moisture until the rubber covering splits.  These bumpers were 
unattractive to begin with (especially the rear), but now a large 
percentage of them are turning truly butt-ugly.

Sure I would love to have a set of the earlier chrome models on my car 
but used are very hard to find in good condition and the repros 
(imports?) are beyond what I am willing to spend on bumpers.

If nobody is making these, someone with the necessary tools may want to 
consider it.  I think there is a market.
I'd buy a set for my '78.  At the right price of course.
