Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

So I'm going to use this angle to come off the the frame rails to take the place of the bumper shocks. I was originally thinking I could trim a lot of the inner bumper away and mock up the bumper placement with clamps and whatnot and then trim the angle to where I want it then tack weld it so I could then remove it and weld it up. It would work ok and get the bumper almost 2 inches closer but not all the way tucked in. So making a new inner bumper frame out of steel channel is the way I'll go. I can make it longer so it can catch all but the outer bolts in the bumper too
