1978 Ford Bronco Frond Bumper Refresh & Polish

- I picked up another front bumper for the 78 Bronco, it's not in great condition, but will do just fine after I clean it up, polish with Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish, then paint the inside with Tremclad semi-gloss black paint.

Hello Alvin, that bumper turned out real nice. I think I agree with no lights on the bumper until you see how she looks without them.

Hi George,
The price was right for the bumper, and will need a little straightening to get the wave out of it...but will do just fine for now.
I think I'm going to take those lights off, I'm not loving them. Lol
It came out great Alvin and I like the heating tool you used. I've not seen that before.
Thanks Matt,
I really like the induction heater, much safer than a torch.
I does have its limitations, works very well on nuts 3/4" down, its not the best on bolt head ends, like manifold bolts...but works really well on nuts.
Well worth the money.
Came out shining like a new penny. If you ever see Turtle Wax Chrome Polish, give it a shot. I've had 40+ years of good success with that bringing back chrome. Just trying to help, not faulting your results at all. The bench looks good too! Thanks for taking us along ~ Chuck.
In my video, I started out with Turtle Wax Chrome Polish, but my bottle of it had dried out, so I went with the Mothers polish, but Turtle Wax Chrome Polish has been my go to since as long as I can remember, unfortunately it's getting hard to find around here. 😢
I have to say, Mothers polish works really well, and is for all metals, and is awesome for cleaning aluminum.
@@J_R_Shop I wondered if that was Turtle Wax, but the bottles I’ve always bought were green. Sorry you can’t find it. If I find a bottle, I’ll grab one for you. ~ Chuck
@@charlesdalton985 thanks Chuck, but don't put yourself out looking for it, I have lots of the Mothers to use up. Lol
Step by step. Looking better all the time.
Yes Doug...chewing the elephant one piece at a time!
Nice Bronco find! Im sure you know already but you could sell those red interior pieces to fund other stuff for the project. I have a two tone 79 Bronco my self!
Thank you, I'll be starting this project later in the year, and I did sell those red seats for a nice price. 👍☺️
@@J_R_Shopdid you also sell the console?
@@LXCScaleCars yeah, the guy that bought the seats also bought the console.
With putting them lights on there at least your plugging in the holes and it might not rust so bad out them hold and you don't have them. Holes there.
They'll be covered up.
Good set a fog like to be great in them.
Ford offered a set of fog lamps for these broncos, they mounted them on a Push Bar, and they were made by S.E.V. Marchal...I thought it would a nice touch to put a set of those on the front, that thought died when I looked for a set of them 💸💸💸! Lol
I should add that they were "Dealer Installed", and also offer on the 79 Mustang.
Alvin,
Looks very good, but I believe you missed a spot about the diameter of a pencil lead. But if I tell you where it is you'll not learn from your boo-boos? 😏
Regards,
John
Lol! With eyesight I'm sure I missed more than that!
