Re: Bumper Modification 200 1981

Replaced the front bumper on daughter's '83. So light I carried it through the pick and pull under the arm I had my toolbox in. So light I had to sort through 7 cars to find one straight and it still needed a small crimp removed. Did that with a channel-lock plier. Looked like about 7/32" or maybe even 3/16" thin.

Replaced bumper cover on my '79. Had to sort through 4 of them to find one un-cut, but all the bumpers they were on were straight and looked to be 7/16" thick.

Hope I'm keeping the exaggeration to a minimum, since I've had to wear magnifying glasses my ability to measure by sight has suffered. You can drive so as to hit nothing, but PO's and other drivers can make your bumpers unsightly as well as ineffective.
