At what speed (wind) is it good for and beyond that would it fly over or under the car.

 

The bumper? Or the support? I'm sure they're both good to much more than the car will go

 

Nice, good fab skills.

 

Now time to knock out the rear bumper support! It is even easier to fab up. Mine didn't take long at all to make.

 

I don't know, how much weight does that one save? I feel like I can't prevent getting rear ended lol.

 

I modded my rear bumper support and got 10lbs out of it. It's still good enough for me to jump on.

 

I know it's separate but it looks a little cleaner without it there.

 

I feel the same way, that's why I left my rear support in too. Nice work on the front and thanks for all the pics along the way.

 

Now that looks goo right there. I bet that is super light. Nice work on that

 

How so? Any pointers? Or pics? I'd like to lighten it up.

 

nice!! i saw your post on the Fbody craigslist page on facebook. looks great. wish i had the ability and matierials to do that.

so much cheaper than MWC. but then again you are doing the work so of course it is

 

Haha thanks, Yea my buddy is a chassis guy and whipped it up so fast. I did the fog light mounts. It could easily be replicated.

 

Like I said, the rear one is easier than the one you just made. The bar barely even has to bend downward to have tabs to bolt the bottom of the bumper to. I wish I had a picture of mine, I would send it over to ya.

 

I trimmed the flange down a little, laid off some holes to drill with the hole saw and cut some of the rubber out that supports the bumper. Left enough for some protection and to support the bumper. It ended up pretty nice and with much more protection than a aftermarket one. Sorry no pics.

 

Gm john. Whats good man. Do u have any pics on how u cut rails.

 

That's a good job right there

Do the rear too. My rear support weight the same as the front. Actually to be technical, according to my notes...the rear support was 1.6lbs heavier than the front.

Front 19.2 lbs
Rear 20.8 lbs

 

You get rear ended a car this old will be totaled anyway so I went tubular. Nice work on yours.

 

how were the tubes bent?

 

A Small bender.

 

have a picture of said rig?
