Re: rear tail light metal repair

Here are a few more pictures of the project.

Pict 1 Here is the 70 K10 project truck before I fixed the twisted bumper

Pict 2 Factory front bumper was twisted up a little on the passenger side corner, so I decided to try and make a tool to pull the twist out of the bumper with items I had laying around the shop

Pict 3 I used an old rebar bender I had for years, a piece of thick metal for a holding tab, and a tow chain that came with one of the trucks I bought

Pict 4 Here I am working on pulling the twist out by using the leverage from the rebar bender and the chain

Pict 5 Shows the bumper pulled away from the grill and now has the space it needs to look right
