Last few days I worked on getting the kink out of the center of the bumper apron I picked up on my mega-road trip this past spring.
Needed some way to push the flanges apart. First tried a single threaded affair tacked in place. Had some success, but not enough (Photos #1 & 2). Then dreamed up a pulling fixture so I could flatten the bulge where the flanges got pushed together. Had more success with that. I spread the all-thread pushers out so I had room for hammer and dolly work after pulling a bit. More photos.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
