cutting and bending bumpers
I want to cut down a pair of triple plated chrome bumpers for my 37 chevy truck and not having done this before ,would like some input on how to proceed. I have enclose a rough drawing of what I want.
I can cut the bumpers with my plasa cutter, but I don't know how I can rebend them without crimping the chrome plating.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

welding bumpers will change the spring steel to a steel the will bend & not return to its former stedy state. Why not search for a smaller bumper...VW has a small blade bumper on the old bugs that can be purched new for around $30.Don Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
