71 fastback
Ok,

Going to be replacing my rear bumper soon.

Who has the best quality out there ?

Also not liking how much the rear bumper on my 71 fastback  sticks out.

Is it a fairly common modification to tuck it in a little ?

Looks like it would be as simple as shortening the brackets and a little heli-arc to stich them back up and re-install.

Would like to move it in about 3/4'' to 1'' closer to the body.

Who has done this and what are the concerns ?

If you are interested I have a 72 repro rear bumper still new in the box that I ended up not using. When compared to OE the metal was much thinner. PM me if you want more details. Willing to sell if interested.

Keep us posted if you shorten the brackets and how and where you cut. I have a 73 and rear bumper really sticks out on mine and would like to tuck it at some point.
