Guys,

Very unpleasant experience....anyway, here is the damage.

there is a dent in my original bumper.

Question :

1. can this be "repaired" or I should look for a replacement bumper?

2. where to look for a replacement

3. if it can be repaired, anyone has any idea on cost? I need to ask the other party to pay for this....

Thanks everyone..

Carson

Those early bumpers are rare and hard to find, it would be much more expensive to replace then it will be to repair.

and although the early 70 style rear bumper is readily available in stainless steel, there is no way that one should EVER put aftermarket parts on a six unless all hope is lost
