Default They tend to multiply...

Nice work Tony, I see you're taking a leaf out of Tony Wheeler's book except with Chevs... although I see the new one is part Ford.

Looks to be relatively rust-free despite the bashing around...

Default A trip to the local engineering

restore 40.jpg

I thought I would give the local engineering works a try. For $80 they straightened the smaller piece that holds the pintle hook at the back of my truck and for only $50 they tidied up the front bumper. The smaller piece had a nasty little twist in it as well as some dings.

Looks like I will need to find some time to sandblast and paint them now....

Default Unbending

Looks like they did a good job Tony!

Did they use heat in conjunction with the press?

No, I don't think so.
