A couple of years after my restoration was completed I noticed the right side of my rechromed front bumper had a case of the jiggles. I thought, simple enough, the bolts had vibrated loose. When I tried to apply a wrench to the bolt it just spun. Turns out the welded-in channel for the bumper bolt had just broke completely free of the valance. Like Stu, I took some beer over to my favorite body shop guy and had him weld it back into place. The alignment was even better than before. Randy Z.

We always blame previous owners for these things, right? Sunbeam bumpers and the mounting structure are not as strong as new bumpers, after all. Mine had the same problem, one of the two PO's of course. I had this friend who was into welding, and a few minutes with a torch and a 6 pack later my bumper was much straighter.
