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)

For something like that use a flat piece of wood (Bush has some) and cover it leather or padding. I like to use a soft hammer, plastic, hard rubber etc what ever it takes. GO SLOW and hit it carefully planning where you need to strike it next in a pattern to slowly reverse the dent.
Use can get those to look ok, not perfect. The bumper metal is pretty malable. Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
