I didn't know you had an aluminum bumper bar! That's awesome! Hope you get it back into shape soon.

That aint no joke. Before my paint job I let me car roll off some of those car ramps you use to change your oil. I forgot it was in neutral and it narrowly missed me and slammed into the garage door opening. Put a pretty decent dent on the quarter panel right below the fuel door.

Definately hurt my pride...I'm just glad I wasn't in between it and the door or I might be 10 toes up right now .

Two words:

parking brake

Those bumper supports are sweet!

I need one on the front of my junk to offset all the weight I added.

Oh my. I guess while you are redoing the bumper, might as well fix the other dings. :)

I thought you have to put body filler on bare metal so it sticks and doesn't crack?

yeah, I grind out the damaged area and then fill the area and sand down, saves you from having waves from feathering out the paint then filling, an old school body man taught me that trick. works like a charm, did the hole car that way

my dad taught me that.. i tried doing it the other way and it's a real pain to get the 'edge' of the paint feathered down to eliminate the wave.. been doing it this way ever since.. takes a good deal of headaches out of getting the right 'form'.. she's looking good so far!
