I will restore mine - it is a part of the Mach 1 of 1973! I will use some kind of two-component adhesive for the cracks in the rubber and laquers with more softener. I think the hardest part on it will be the sanding...

Good to see someone keeping these big old bumpers.
When my car was in the shop they called me over, saying that I should ditch the front bumper on my 73' and get a chrome one because the paint may crack over time if they repainted it.
I said "NO WAY BUDDY." you are painting it and putting it back on the car. These bumpers aren't that easy to come by, and although many like the chrome, I don't.
I told him to buy a new mixture that had just become available to help the paint bend more. So far, no cracks anywhere. I am always careful near it though just to be sure (don't remember what the product is called. It was pretty pricey though, they almost didn't listen to me)
