Well, I didn't get the 4-door to paint as planned. I like to think that it was because of other family obligations ( family vacation, son's driving school etc.) but I'm beginning to wonder if it's not my helper slowing me up ??? On a side note, the big bumper slide is done. Now to decide wether or not to shorten the wrap arounds . Darrel
If you section them, and want to chrome them, they better be perfect. I personally like chrome bumpers.
Looks good Darrel! If the bumpers are in good shape, chrome wise, I'd leave them..... PINKY is body color Yellow is chrome.
wow how did u do that. u made big bumpers look good. can you tell me in steps so i can do it on mine.
craigs mav... step 1) - buy a small bumper car !!! Just kidding ! The first thing I did was to measure how far I could move the bumper back. I think it was a total of 4". I used the center hood latch support as my stopping point. Then I took the mounting brackets off, took them to my work and put them in a 10 ton press and pressed them in 4" . I left them in the press while I welded around the bracket. Brought 'em home, bolted 'em back in and "viola" big bumper slide. Oh, and I had to trim the stone guard too. Overall a pretty easy job. Darrel
hey i dont have a 10 ton press or a welder. do you think u can make me some and send them to me. and if so how much
if you are going to leave your side marker lights, you might want to only go 3". that is what i did on my (terrys) '77...frank...
Re: Bumper Slide Hey Boss9, I like the bumper slide - very nice! I just wanted to mention that your helper seems to have a leak out his navel. I'm happy to see that he "bleeds" Ford blue! Regards,
!! I don't use the bag for that sander and he's so short the exhaust blows right into his belly button
maybe if you paid him a little more he could afford a shirt and solve the leaky belly button problem.
