Guys have you seen my SLICED BUMPERS, Go to my site
http://home.att.net/~nextgen and then to INTRODUCTION and check out the BUMPERS. What I did was slice them full length twice to remove the 1" indented center. Then I took the two "L" shaped halfs and bolted them together with stainless steel bumper domed bumper bolts. What you get is a stronger then stock bumper that is 1/3 the thickness yet is the same original design. This allows more of the body to show, yet you are protected. A much sleeker look.
That same car at the moment is being transformed It is a 74. I bought Creative Car Craft Fenders 2 1/2" wider all around. On the front I bought Early fenders so I can use Early head lights. The car is completely dechromed. I purchased a new set of bumpers but this time I am leaving them chrome. I believe the Early head lights with the Sliced Chrome bumpers on a bright red 74 is going to be awesome.. Oh I forgot I also have the flat tail light from South America.
