[88_Eddie]

yeah, i'm gonna order some, but i'm gonna have to have someone with a 220V machine burn them in for me. my dinky little guy wont do it

 

[88_Eddie]

i really like the way it's looking, i took a pic on my way out the door to work this morning....

 

[brinker88]

That's really looking sharp. I like it a lot. Great fab skills bud!

 

[88_Eddie]

thanks brink!!!

 

[88_Eddie]

got my design for my front bumper laid out, so i ordered these guys today

 

[88_Eddie]

got the clevis mounts today, much beef....included a beer bottle for scale

 

[brinker88]

Very nice. What vendor did you go with? I know there's quite a few of them out there.

 

[88_Eddie]

i dont know who it was, if you look back at post #644, there's a link to ebay where i got them. i just looked at it and i cant figure out who makes them. they $21 shipped to my door though, ballistic fab wanted $25 or $30 for just one IIRC

 

[brinker88]

Not a bad price at all.

Ive actually had good luck with AtoZ fab online here

wanna build my rear bumper now?
similar to yours but matching my front bumper a little more lol.
i'll PM you my shipping address! lol

 

[brinker88]

Lol shipping alone would cost more than building a solid copper bumper!

sure, you've got an 88 as well, so i could. shipping would be hell though and metal isnt that cheap around here. all in all, i've got around $75 in mine i'd say, give or take.

i've got metal... living near memphis i can metal CHEAP.
i'll get to mine soon. i just really like yours... to bad it wouldn't match my front bumper completely. i'll have to design something up for mine.

when you making the front bumper? get to work!

 

[88_Eddie]

i could build one like the pic you posted a few pages back, the bottom part is basically what my front bumper is gonna look like. it's pretty much going to be a mix of junkie's, bisquicks front bumpers with a few unique touches to set it apart a tad.

i guess i technically started on it last night.....i took part of the front clip off and started laying some stuff out. i'm gonna make it all out of cardboard first and then trace it all to cut it out. i

got the brakes hooked up finally too, i just need to bleed them, hook up the steering and a driveshaft and it'll be movable finally. trying to figure out what i'm gonna do with exhaust as well.
