I am restoring my '74 and was wondering if anyone has successfully repaired/smoothed out the bummper pads. The rear is ok but the front one has several small dips in it. I am not ready to spend $500 plus on aftermarket ones and wondered if these pads could be smoothed out with fiberglass or something else. I planned to paint them with rubberized paint. Wondering what I could use for this that would stick.
Was thinking of mounting them to the bumper to ensure they were as rigid as possible, rough sand the few areas with 80 grit or so, use fiberglass reinforced resin to fill in the spot, sand/primer/paint. Has anyone tried this? |
