Hi everybody.
I know there are quite a few topics on backdating from the BUB to chrome bumpers, but couldn't really find the answer i was looking for, so here goes: I am considering a bumper-backdate for my '75 US car, but i am not really liking the idea of doing too much "permanent" modification to the car. Is there any way to avoid the cutting/welding usually involved in the process? I was thinking that maybe fiberglass bumpers would be an option here? Anyone with first-hand experience on this? |

You mentioned fiberglass. That's a can of worms. The quality varies big time. I'm looking for a deal like I got from Dan in the PNW for another set of FG bumpers.
Let's just say, that they will take work. Some metalwork on the lips (I shaved all of them with a cutting wheel to clean it up) as well as fiberglass work to line up with the rest. If you aren't comfortable working fiberglass and metal, hire someone, or stay in touch here.... |
