914World.com _ 914World Garage _ New Bumper Cover

Posted by: Spoke Nov 19 2005, 04:22 PM

Just got a new bumper cover with no rust, bolts are in excellent shape. There are some waves on the bottom of the cover. How do I straighten these out?

is it like vulcanized rubber only, or is there a metal frame inside of it?

Thanks Guys,

I got most of the wrinkles out of it. First I tried the visegrips with some success, then I used my Millermatic welder to finish it --- Just used the corner of the case of the Millermatic, to push out and push in the wrinkles with some body weight behind it.
