Re: Front bumper junk yard restoration. WOW!
Mister B, are you in jail? What's up with the bars in the pictures?
![]() Instead of banging out license plates they have you working on the wardens truck? ![]() Just kidding, looking great! ![]() BTW, I have land, barn, tractor shed and 3 other out buildings and still no place for my truck!!! I want to tear down my 2 bay tractor shed and make a 3 or 4 bay garage, for the truck, tractor and shop. I have a house project that's ahead of that though. Some day.... Any luck on your mirror re-silver project?

![]() As for the mirror project, I love the mount and the spot it is located, but it turns out that resilvering a mirror is a lost art. There's nowhere I can find that will do it, so I'll just have to break down and buy a whole mirror head, and mount it to my stock mount Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Front bumper junk yard restoration. WOW!
metabo makes a high speed angle grinder/cut off tool. i cut an X in the head of my bolts and insert a small pry bar and remove the pieces. didnt scratch the paint.
i'm not sure what Metabo means, but theyre made in Deutschland.

Re: Front bumper junk yard restoration. WOW!
Ok guys. It's done and mounted to the truck. There were a few little dents and areas that weren't as straight as I'd like, so I bought a heavy rubber mallet, heated up the areas from the back side, and pounded them. It turned out quite well. Very satisfying project

Re: Front bumper junk yard restoration. WOW!
Thanks!
Oh, by the way guys, go get yourself a breaker bar if you haven't already. These bolts just get way too rusted to easily get at with a 10" socket wrench. Get the longest breaker bar you can, and use it with your existing sockets. It'll give you the leverage to get the bolts off. I really wish I'd had this when I took the bumper off at the junk yard. I found one at Harbor Freight for 12 bucks. ![]() http://www.harborfreight.com/12-driv...bar-67933.html Posted via Mobile Device |
