I have decided to use the old bumper and my friend is going to powdercoat it gold and black hammer tone which will cover up all of the pitting. He also gave me 2 pieces of scrap stainless that I cut 3 diamond shaped pieces that one will be in the center to hold the buckeye delux emblem and the other 2 will cover the mounting bolts, I practiced on one and it polished to a mirror finish in about an hour or so of sanding and polishing.

Monday I sent off the computer off to get it retuned so I can remove the cats, vats, evap and more, when I get it back I will do some serious wire removal.

I now think that the bumper is not off of a case. From my research i believe it is an aftermarket bumper that would be installed by a dealer as an add on. I have seen them on a Buick and a Chrysler.
