Re: Possible solution to fill-in gap for rear sport bumper

Seemed like a simple solution, the sheet-metal only cost six dollars, but $18 to ship it to me, go figure. It is 18gauge metal so should be plenty rigid enough for my application but yet easy to drill holes in.... I ordered a piece 4 inches wide, by 66 inches long. Bear in mind this is just a trial run, so we will see how it goes.... here is the website I ordered it from http://www.speedymetals.com/s-158-cold-finished.aspx

I will keep this post updated as it goes, thanks
I did this on my dually but used 11ga stainless....

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.
