New to thread bent steel need straightened
hello all i recently have purchased a 99 cherokee sport and have a few things i need to fix. But before all of that, i recently went to the junk yard and found a steel front bumper gaurd. So i took it home and plan on restoring it you know paint it and such, my question however is the steel is bent and i need to straighten it out. Anyone have any ideas on the best and fastest way to do this? should i take it to a shop will they do that at a shop or should i make a fire of my own. il post pictures of it later when i get a chance. thanks

Heat it up with a torch. Pretty easy when it's hot! Welcome to Cherokee Forum!

If you have access to an oxy-acetylene setup then that's the ticket. A good anvil also but those 2 tools are stretching it for most people. You could try map gas and a torch tip
