Bumper guard removal on a 73 Scamp?

Unfortunately most times since they have been there so long and have rusted in place you will probably need to cut them off.

Maybe pull the bumpers off and take them to someone that can cut them off. BUT if you can find a cutter for a reasonable price, maybe it's time to start building a tool collection.

Are there any second had places around you? Sometimes you can get a used tool pretty reasonable, just make sure it works before you leave.
