My bumpers on my 49 Willys were horrible .... way worse than yours.

I took them in to be chromed and they used a combo of hydraulic presses
and the steady hand of their "bumper guy" .... amazing results.
And, all the holes for the brackets were perfect... I wish I could have watched the whole process! I guess with all the plastic/ABS bumpers now; a good "bumper shop" has gone the way of the buggy whip .........
