Glass bumpers for a race car isn't a bad call, but if you want to use the steel bumpers what you'll find is they are actually easier to work than body sheet metal... It takes more force but it seems more consistent in how it reacts to a hammer..

Just buy some fiberglass bumpers from Sled City Fiberglass for $145 each.
I hear ya but I was trying to do it on the cheap and learn at the same time. Thought about making my own bumpers out of glass but I don't think I have the patience/talent.
