Thanks - front bumper was something that I had kind of dreamed up and wasn't sure how it would actually play out. So far, I think I like it, but if not - it unbolts and can be changed later!

I'm really pleased with the rear bumper. I stole the idea from DSE (Mark McDonald did the fab work) on Bob Gawlick's Chevy II.



Cut up another bumper for parts...




Rear bumper took some work on the quarter panels too...

Here is how much I took out of the rear bumper - had to modify the bumper brace a bit too.



Apparently I don't have any pictures of the finished quarter, but this gives you an idea of the recess into the panel.

Just in case anyone wondered if I gave up on this project - -I finally have it on the road!

Life has been all sorts of crazy for me since I stared this project, but it is nice to have it on the road and working out the bugs.

I haven't been on here in years - it appears that all of my photo links and inserted images are broken - -

Not sure I'll take the time to fix them
