For future reference, try welding the bolts to a piece of 3/16 or 1/4" plate, weld the plate to the bumper, & weld the factory bumper holes up. It's better this way so that if you slightly over-tighten the bumper bolts upon installation so they don't come loose, it won't distort/tweak the bumper surface (chrome or paint).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
