If you need me to help with the hood,....I can whip up a really cool looking idea in steel,..weld it on, warp the hell out of it, cut it back off, then do that over and over for months.

Whatdya think?:nice::notnice:?

Here's my "new" rear bumper. She's a honey!:nonono:

This is the best one i can find, btw. There doesn't seem to be an aftermarket manufacturer of the '79-'84 rear bumpers. Oh well, i've got an idea on how to fix it.

Behold the good bumper:

Looks rough Dave.. I have no doubts to your abilities-but that looks like it's gonna be some work lol


Edit: This is the last part you spray before Robby comes home right?

Close brother, got to get the hood back from the sand blasters too. I'll get these done, then i grab the driver's door off Robby and then the game will be on!

I know what you mean Nick, these bumpers are hard to come by though. I'm kind of stuck. I can fix this though, it looks worse than it really is.

Ya know buddy, there is a big difference between us, and that is that you know the trade secrets and possess the skill to fix that, and I do not. I will be interested in watching you work your magic, and have no doubt you will get it right.
