After an hour with hammer and dolly and other tools. Still some severely folded bits that do not want to cooperate.

This will talk more work to get the profile close enough, and then maybe it can be pretty.

I had better luck working the front bumper today. Lots of twisting and banging, with the bumper braced in different configurations.

The first achievement was getting the horizontal top recess edge, where the rubber cap edge sits, back close to a straight line. The line past the bend will need more work.

Next, I went back to working the curve profile, when seen from above.

First attempt looks a bit better.

Another round with the hammers, and the profile is almost there.

The face is still lumpy, but that will come later.

I took a break from bumper work to fabricate the bracket that supports the center of the rear bumper cap. Here is the layout.

And the finished part. I will weld this on once the car is off the rotisserie, for better access.

Bob,

I got 5 bumpers out of storage. Feel free to stop by and take a look at them. I have 2 unmolested (still chrome) rear bumpers.

A minor detour to work on the 914 dolly loaned to me by Kansas 914. He invited me to add some braces for the posts. I found that the existing pegs on top of the posts did not fit the jack point donuts on my car, so I decided to re-engineer those and make the fit adjustable.

Here are the new post caps with a 1/2 inch hole.

And the inserts that have 1/2 pegs and 3/4 inch pegs (for the donuts). The height of the inserts can be raised with washers.

The pegs are offset so by rotating the distances between pegs on all 4 posts can be altered a bit.

The credit for (good) welding goes to my son, who has actual training and skills.

But I get the design credit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
