Re: [T3] Bumpers for 71' squareback.

You can straighten out a lot of the bends you get in bumpers, but if the chrome
is creased and cracked it can never be right without re-chroming (expensive for
quality work).  Try using large C-clamps (G-clamps in UK !) with wood pads to
press the damage straight.  Don't hammer it or the chrome plate will be sprung
off the bumper.

I've never seen after-market bumpers.
