Hay Guys It's been a while Since It took the Course on Plastics identification Can any one help me? I need to try and Weld or reattach the piece of bumper that was Sheared off in case my friend is not willing to part with his.
here's a pic, to help.
it's fairly flexible and has a waxy fell when cleaned. I can't for the life of me remember if I should, or could, Plastic weld this or not.
Along with that piece the slide retainer which holds the backing,reinforcement, to the body has popped of ,in tacked surprisingly, as I recall can be welded, its a semi ridged, plastic.
My memory has faded since school in 1993.
One other thing I never liked the way they did the front bumpers on these SHO's they put all the ground effects all around the car nice swooped NASA-carish and then they made the front into a bullet.What the F*&^%$???
Oh well In my mind, twisted as it is, seems like an unfinished design.
I had the thought of merging it with a Honda Accord's front bumper cover I can't remember the year exactly, 2003 I think. I held one on the front of my Sho and it looked pretty good!
Getting to the point the front bumper is more rigged than the Honda, or it may be the way it's molded, do you know of a process to merge the to un-alike plastics. I can mold dense foam to reinforce the back and help retain the shape. I've done this kind of shaping before. I was thinking of using the insert like molding on the face of the bumper to hide the seam.
it's the silver painted area in the photo, although its a molded part of the bumper cover.
Any Ideas would be help full. oh and sending the rear bumper cover out to a repair shop is not in the cards, the last one I sent out 'GOT LOST'. and then I saw it on another car a week later, verbal contract. no recourse the Salesman/ Rep, was supposedly fired, (to another district).:thankyou:
