My 73 Mach 1 has a front bumper (urethane) that is in pretty rough shape.
Some cracks I think can be repaired by my local bodyshop. The bigger
problem is the big a.s piece of metal underneath the urethane. Lots of
rust. Anyone have experience with these? can they be replaced? How the
hell does the rubber come off the metal? Aftermarket appears nonexistent.
Any helpful comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I just removed the urethane bumper from the metal structure underneth
recently. It was a royal pain! I suggest you use an impact wrench, but be
careful not to strip out the giant phillips head bolts on the bottom. I got
it but it wasn't easy.
I have never seen an aftermarket "bumper core". nor have I seen one on ebay
in the 5 years i've owned this 72 mach1.
Just keep looking, maybe someone parting out a car will have one.
