So... to make a long story long,
when I bought this car (1974), you could tell it had had a 5-10MPH bump to front end. bumper pad is touching fenders with a little ripple, paint cracked inside trunk where center pads contact, but you have to be within a couple of feet to see it. So I go to put on the LE spoiler I got (thanks to Wayne Type47fan) and bumper is too tight to body. I pulled off the bumper last night and I have to guess it was pushed in ` 1/16" to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) thanks |

You could space it out, orrrrrrrr you could pull out the mounting area a little. Depends on how bad it is? I bought a Moe clamp and pulled mine out with a come-a-long, tree stump and then even taking my Wifes Jeep with a chain and giving the mount area little "Jerks". Amazingly, I didn't destroy anything and a bumper mounts perfectly. All just depends on how much work you want to do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Root Werks comment about the jeep reminds me of the short video someone put on the site last year where the kids are trying to pull a slammed honda out of a snow bank, and they end up ripping the entire front end off the car! so funny i almost #$%$#my pants.
back on topic, I would have shimmed the dog bone's out with washers and see if that fits, so long as you have enought screw left to tighten it back on properly. |
