Bumper Surgery

[53Vipette]

So you could stay tuned for the next installment where I cut out the license plate holder out of the middle. I'd make it out of a couple pieces like 4 or so that way you can capture the shape you need. Also, cutting along the edge of the bend so you can pick up a new line. I think by back setting the piece you end up with a bumper that looks filling and not stock. Furthermore, grinding more of the chrome and nickel off with aid in make cleaner, better looking welds. My concern would be that welds would be brittle and start cracking over time.

Either way you are on the right track if that's your bumper just be creative and push your skills!

My bumpers have the big pieces missing in the middle and a curve in the center. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
