Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
So here's the pics of the '72 bumper installed. Didn't get any shots of the mounts because by the time I got them welded, installed and the bumper adjusted I had to pee so bad I couldn't lay back down under the car! That's what I get for 3 big cups of coffee before heading out to the shop. Sorry was that more info than you needed? I'll post up a shot or two, they're nothing special and much stouter/heavier than needed so I may re-due them in the future. Besides a much better overall fit and look the '70-'72 bumper and brackets weigh a fraction of the larger '74 which has the two shock/mount assemblies and a full length inner bumper structure that is stamped out of 3/16" steel (not kidding). Easily 60 lbs off the very *** end of the car if not more.
Pic 1 - what was removed
Pic 2 thru 5 - a before and after grouping from back and side
Pic 6 - no more ends sticking out but there is a gap between the body and bumper that will be delt with latter.
