I've also toyed with the idea of cutting a bit out of the centre of the bumper to narrow it and get it fitting tighter, but the cost of re-chroming is getting ridiculous.
I kept trimming bit by bit out of a sedan bar to get it tight to body , massaged the rear panel to resemble a wagon, but it was too tight, I used a rusty dented bar for this reason but it looked good to me. I also cut the stip of steel off and used the hz hinges ,looked fine, think they should work but have a pair I hq hinges soaking in diesel (a bit seized) and will try them also, but instead of chrome I will paint my bars and add the rubber stips.
