Re: new bumper

Re: new bumper
thanks for the comments! I like the roll pan look but they provide zero protection therefore....

Re: new bumper
I like it! Want to cut up my 81 for me?
 Your truck is really coming along man, the gloss black stripe across the hood is cool! I think that by bring the bumper in it shows more of the fender. (No pun intended since you have fender license plate) |

Re: new bumper
Looks good. Do you have a rollpan out back? Also did it take alot of work to use a ford rear sway bar with a flipped axle?

Re: new bumper
I'm like yes, no, yes, no, yeeeaah, ah heck I don't know. Even though I'm not sure about the bumpers, I do like the overall look of the truck.
I think while I was doing all the cuttng and welding I would have been forced to put some big round driving lights in it. I feel that would really enhance the road racer look. If you really want to be unique, find one of the old Hickey Enterprises fiberglass hoods for it.
