Front Bumper Build

[goathearder]

I don't know about you guys but I never tire of reading about bumper builds so here is what I built for the front of my 73. I based my design off the ORD one but made some cosmetic changes. I have already hit a couple boulders with it when I was out at Calico in January and it held up with no issues.

Great job!


I saw this pic first, and thought, "Damn that's BIG!"
(*My eye saw the compressor, as part of the buper facade.)

Thanks guys! I gotta get in there and trim the bottom of the front quarter panel now to bring it up flush with the tube that wraps around but it feels great to actually have some protection up there.

Doeet!

I trimmed mine, flush with the inner fender.
Then, beat it flat with a 4lb. hammer.
