Re: Did somethign stupid today, bent my chome sport bumper..

And old piece of heavy leather works good to.The heavier piece you can put behind it like a body dolly the bigger hammer you can use to knock the hump back.You want to use the least # of blows possible to get it back in shape.I try to clamp whatever I am using as dolly to the bumper and knock it back in place with one lick if possible.if its clamped it doesn't bounce and will stop not making a downward dent.I have a 10lb sledge with a short 12" handle and have straightened several like this with 1 or 2 blows .
