Re: Anyone flip '60-'66 bumpers?

Cut and flipped the frame horns. Took an inch of meat off the bottom(now top) of the bumper(thin steel aftermarket). For the rears, I reused and cut and modified the outer brackets, and the inners were fabbed out of two inch strapping. Like everything, lots of cutting, fabbing, eyeballing, and welding.

"EYEBALLING" My favourite type of engineering.

Drives my wife nuts that I make stuff up as I go along.

Love the rears flipped.
