I was thinking of doing something similar to the square.
- stock bumper narrowed enough on both sides to get about 1/4 inch gap between the bumper and fender
- shave the carriage bolts to smooth the bumper and
- trim the front frame horns to allow the bumper to fit about an inch closer in the front.
i think it would slick it up, keeping the stock, but modifying the fit much closer to the body.
I need to get busy!

yea i think ima do the same and jus rechrome it, im sure it will look alot cleaner!
