1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
Got the other 2 bumper brackets started. Fitting really nice. Just have to finish the mounting tabs and weld them on. Then it's just finish welding on the bumper itself (close up 2 holes and cleanup on the middle to make it more even and clean), finish weld the second 2 bumper brackets and paint all 4. Then, finally I can send the bumper for chrome and pull the lower valance for epoxy, body work and paint. Maybe I will still see final color on this car before the end of may (goal is April, but something always seems to come up so trying to keep my goal practical)
Oh, and I will be replacing the bolts on the bottom of the bumper with proper bumper bolts. Just have to file the holes square to fit them. Used existing holes when making the mounts and these lined up really nice to the first set of brackets, also allowing me to have one mount to the bottom and one to the top to minimize flex
Thanks. Trying to keep it simple. I like the clean straight line of this bumper much better.
