Tonight the “towel bar” on the front bumper was stripped, further bent into shape, and then the dents were filled. This part will still require a bit of work to make acceptable. Since it’s tubular it will never be 100% perfect; for a 45yr old bumper I can live with that. The only other way would be to find one that is perfect (unlikely) or to fabricate one from scratch. I have a long weekend this week so I should start to make lots of bus progress beginning tomorrow.
