First-Gen F-Body Right: Premium Front Bumpers for 1967–1969 Chevrolet Camaros

Restore Your First-Gen F-Body Right: Premium Front Bumpers for 1967–1969 Chevrolet Camaros from Auto Metal Direct

Restoring a first-generation Camaro is as rewarding as it is detail-dependent. As someone who’s spent 25+ years wrenching on vintage muscle cars, I can tell you: few pieces define the look of a ‘67–‘69 Camaro more than its front bumper. Whether you're cruising to a local show or firing down the strip, that bumper is a front-and-center statement. And if you’re doing it right, you don’t want cheap chrome or ill-fitting brackets getting in the way of a clean install.

That’s where Auto Metal Direct (AMD) comes in.

Premium Chrome Front Bumpers — Made Right

AMD offers premium OE-style chrome front bumpers for 1967, 1968, and 1969 Chevrolet Camaros. Each year has its own signature look, and AMD delivers exacting reproductions that respect the original styling while exceeding factory standards in finish and fitment.

We're not talking thin, poor-quality reproductions here. These bumpers are stamped from heavy-gauge steel and triple-chrome plated for long-term shine and corrosion resistance. Each unit is engineered to match GM factory contours, which eliminates the “banana bumper” look you often get with subpar parts.

Brackets, Fillers & Guards — The Details That Matter

Anyone who's ever swapped a bumper on a first-gen Camaro knows there’s more to it than just bolting on a chrome shell. AMD makes it easy by offering all the brackets, individual mounting hardware, and even the front bumper fillers that finish the look and ensure everything aligns perfectly with the grille and fenders.

I’ve seen folks fight with warped original brackets or try to retrofit aftermarket stuff that simply wasn’t made to fit. That’s wasted time and busted knuckles. With AMD’s stamped steel brackets—engineered to original specs—you get proper alignment and a seamless install right out of the box.

Need a front license plate bracket to stay street legal? AMD’s got it. Looking to run front bumper guards for that early muscle-era vibe? They’ve got those too—again, all designed to match factory specs with no guesswork.

Hands-On Insight: Installation Tips from the Shop Floor

In our shop, we recently installed an AMD front bumper setup on a ‘68 Camaro RS. I’ll be honest—removing the old bumper took longer than fitting the new one. The AMD bumper slid into place with zero tension or alignment fights. We paired it with AMD’s bracket set and fillers, and the gaps were tight and even.

Pro tip: always loosely mount your brackets to the bumper and frame first, then test-fit the bumper before tightening everything down. This allows for fine-tuning and keeps you from chipping paint or binding the hardware.

Why AMD?

As a restoration professional, I always emphasize to customers: don’t cut corners on the parts that people see first. AMD is one of the few manufacturers actually building their parts with fit and finish as the top priority. They develop their own tooling and control every step of the process—from stamping to chrome plating. That means you get consistent quality across the board.

And when you need all the small pieces—hardware, brackets, fillers—it’s all in one place. No mixing and matching brands or chasing clips on auction sites.
