If you want to save the bumper brackets and not tourch them.  Just tourch one end of each bolt off and wiggle it. Should come off. A rubber hammer is good, just dont dent it if its still good and straight. Being the car is rusty, the bolts will problly be shot anyway. Those you can replace. Hope i helped.

Subject: IML: 1957 Imperial Bumpers

     I have a rusted out 57 Imperial, I have tried to take the bumpers off but they just won't unbolt. I have tried everything to get them off and apart with everything,  except a torch. Does anyone have ideas,  as I am disassembling as much of the car as I can.
     I have acquired a 1957 Chrysler Southampton, in the exact same color to replace it. It is missing the drive train, so I'll remove the drive train (392 Hemi& auto), and put it in the Southampton.
     I appreciate any and all ideas so I can get the Southampton running.

Thanks,
