So, there I was, wrestling with the cheap chinese antenna that came with my 16 yo boy's 1968 Chevy pickup (short stepside 4x4), when just as I gave up in frustration with an oath to go buy a brand new antenna and speakers for the damn thing, I walk by the 62 Daytona convertible, and the batter rear bumper reaches out and bangs my right knee something fierce! Now, that bumper was used hard earlier in it's life, and was canted out almost at a right angle from the body. I have had a used one of the same vintage sitting in my garage for about a year - so in a fit of pain-induced adrenaline, I got out the "new" bumper and my tools. I took the old one off and took the bent bracket to the large anvil in the back of the shop, where after 10 minutes or so of beating it with a LARGE hammer, it gave up and straightened out. I put it and the new bumper back on, and bolted up the bumper guards and license plate lights. Then I straightened out a couple of small dings along the bottom of the bumper using my all around tool (crescent wrench) and bam, baby! Not quite even between left and right sides, but a hell of a lot better than the old one! The wife is happy, too. Don't know why it took me so long to do it - I'll blame it on PTSD.
