I am finally back to work on my cars. I took about 10 years off doing stuff with my kids and now with the pandemic and not traveling for work I’m looking for stuff to do. So, i got to work on the ‘72. It started with the grill repairs and progressed to the damaged bumper and fender. My question is about the bumper.
Does the urethane bumper have a steel core inside? I removed the steel reinforcement/mounting bar and the bumper is still pretty solid and heavy. Can it be bent if I carefully back it up and press it? It has a slight dip down and bow backwards where it impacted something. I was planning to use my press with a long backing bar to ensure it bends where I want it to and not cause more damage. Thoughts?
