The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Straightening a bumper,can it be done??

Way back when, that be in the late 50's, when I was just starting out in the parts
department, I was the runner. I dropped a lot of bumpers off at the re-chromer to be
straightened and re-plated. As Dave posted, they used a hydraulic press to straighten
them. I remember watching two guys doing a single piece bumper with one on the press
and the other holding up the other end. They were just using wood blocks to keep from gouging up the face.
