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) insta Attached thumbnail(s)
