Looking for suggestions on how to repair the bumper cover studs that I just stripped out of the 82 bumper cover taking the fender off.

Can you epoxy them back it?

Yes. The best I've used is JBweld in the tubes. It's used to repair fiberglass and works very well for the studs. I've repaired completely busted headlight header panels with it.

Yeah - also clean up the threads really well and put some anti-seize on them for when you reinstall. The reality is that they get rusted on and you start trying to remove them - the plastic bumper always gives first.

I remember having that battle on both of my cars.
