Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

[hgs_notes]

So the new driver side frame horn is made, but I did not weld it on yet.


Instead, I fabbed a new piece for the pass side, which was in real bad shape.


This one took more work. I made a pattern based off the shape it is supposed to be.



Since I really couldn't use any of the original horn, I used 3 sections of the burb one to make a very close replica of it. I cut the end of the burb horn off, wiich is much shorter than the jimmy one from the bend back. Then I cut the bushing mount area of the burb one. I placed those 2 sections on the pattern, and used a piece of the burb horn that was excess and cut it to fit between the two.



I think it turned out pretty good. It cost me $30 for the burb frame pieces, and a couple hours of my time. Even if I just used some truck frame sections, which I had, I still would have had to section and weld it in, and get the bushing mount holes cut in, and then find inner bumper brackets because this never had them.
