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??

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

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:

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.
