I have stripped my 76. I took the bumpers off of the car. I bought a new front it had been repaired. The other day when I wet sanded the rear it had a big dip in it any idea how to fix it or if anyone sells them really cheaped. Possibly used. I think you can reshape them with a torch? Anyone ever try? thanx

Don't use a torch. You may have some success with a heat gun. This is tricky and easy to mess up, so take your time. Make sure the bumper is supported, and won't sag somewhere else while working. Warm it into shape and hold it while cooling. You almost need to build a support to do this. Minor shaping can be done by adding the compatable epoxy, then sanding into shape.
