hahaha i wish it was that easy to do body work..

talk with hoosierdrifter because it sounds like he's done body work before. you can defintiely do this yourself, its just that it would be an easy job to screw up. if i were you, i'd try to have parts of the bumper fixed against a stand. that way, once you DO mold pieces back together, it'll stay the way you've molded it.

good luck

yea man... just peice it together with duct tape or somthin on the outside. then lay the soaked fiberglass sheets on the back of the bumper, connecting the broken peices. once thats all dry and hard as a rock flip the bumper back over to the front and start sanding down on the high spots. then use body filler "bondo" to fill in the cracks and low spots. sounds easy, but its tedious work.. but like you said, it would be a great learning experience. i had a streetscene bumper cover on my 95 s10 blazer, which was shattered after a mail box jumped out in front of me in sub-zero degree temperatures.. after a day or two of kitty hair work and body filler... she was better than new.

shouldnt be too hard, i fix cracked bumpers all the time, and some as bad as yours.... a heat gun and a flat head screwdriver to melt the two back together and some putty to smooth it out.

If you can fix so that it fits fine, but still sort of rough around the edges we can sent it to our factory and make a mold and pop out a new one..

With enough patience you can fix that. The question is how long can you wait for it lol. Fiberglassing isnt hard its just very time consuming and tedious. I say try to do it yourself because most shops will kill you on that I think.

ECMgarrett · 11-25-2006, 02:42 PM

you gave money for that? lol

MetalHeadZaid · 11-26-2006, 04:31 AM

10 bucks...i can get it fixed for under 270 which is still a sick deal.
