fix dent chrome bumper
 

i found a chrome 67 factory bumper for 25$ and i have none at all on my truck.

the problem is it has a dent upwards on top of the bumper like it was pulled by it. but not terribly bad. gradual and like 1/2 inch or less.

question...

with a mallet and rags or something, is there any way to pound it back down somehow? or get it faily straight? rest of the bumper is fine.

No problem to get it straight but it may need rechroming.

I actually beat a dent out of a bumper once with a huge rubber mallet. It depends on where and how deep the dent is though.

look for a chrome business that has the work done south of the border in mexico

Go for it. Can't beat the price. I got mine from the junk yard, and it had some similar issues along the edge. I was able to heat it with a heat gun and pound it with a rubber mallet and a rag over it.

Nope. I just shined it up with some Mother's chrome polish on a drill bit buffer pad. Here's another shot
