Early Bumper help Options

[TINKERGINEERING]

Hello!
I am working on backdating my bumpers, and I would post this in a WTB section but I figured on here I could also get some great advice -
Here is the bumper I have currently - this is after about a week of hammering and hammering, trying to smooth it out - I am going to be powder coating it white (like all the rest of the brightwork - its going to be sickk), so it dosent need to have a perfect paint job, but just smooth- here are the pics of what I am working with currently.
Does anybody have a front early bumper that I could buy for a couple hundred dollars?

Should I keep hammering this out and see where it takes me? I am also going to have to do a bit of welding - you can see the crack in the last photo.

Any advice will be helpful!! thxx


The actual backdating process is going well thanks to bigkensteele's thread on the topic!
My video will be posted once I finish on my Youtube! -> Tinkergineering check insta for the process as well if you're curious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This video may be of interest. I wanted to keep my bumpers that came painted new. So I’m doing the same thing. The metal is thin to begin with, but I got it close and used a file to bring the high spots down. But because the metal is so thin your high spots need to be really low. My front and rear were smashed pretty good. They will look fine after a skim of filler and sand able primer to fill those small variations. I’m no expert, just had to learn to fix mine. Remember this metal is thin, when welded it can warp, when struck it can stretch so when trying to move the metal back it may not fit. I had to get inventive, but mine get covered in paint so some cutting and welding to make things fit was fine. I added the cut out for an oil cooler and had to just do spot welds a little at a time.
