Given the effort going into this rear bumper, I'm guessing that it'll be the one?

There's a good possibility, David.  Proportionally, it's much better.  It's a blood relative.

Good process on the bumper, I think that should work good.  But the overrides might get pissed you cut them out, I hear they’re a mean group of bikers🚳

It's how I work, Lenny. Lots of CA and kicker, then spraying dust all over the room. Did I mention I bought a great stick-vac? It gets a lot of use these days.

Bumper update: this is the one 😀

Tucked in tight and pinned. Now I need to get it smooth. Smooth enough for chrome. Thanks for stopping by 🧑‍🎄

By golly it fits 😲 That deserved a $35 can of spray paint.

Ya know, Jim, Spotlight Hobbies now offers a plating service. They'll do a 6X8 frame for the same price as a can of Revell chrome.  ,,Just say'n.

Digg'n that new back bumper BTW.

I appreciate the tip, Steve,  I'll keep it in mind. This one is getting Alclad or something more reasonable. I've had success with Alclad and it's good enough for this train wreck.

I agree with everyone on the rear bumper. You have shaped it so that the top edge of the bumper matches the shape of the rear body perfectly.

That bumper looks like it belongs there!👍😎
