My car is a '74 with the bumper "tits".....at one time or another, a PO has gotten hit or bumped into something pushing the bumperetts into the bumper which caused damage to the bumper (front and rear)
are these pretty much toast? It seems like it would be darn near impossible to pound them and have them look decent at the same time??? Attached image(s) |

To get them straight, it looks like you would need to heat them and use a press. The bends look to severe to just press them straight. The heat might discolour them and you would have to have them rechromed. You might have to heat shrink them also to get them straight.
