It got a front bumper on the rebuild, but a nice pair of fenders, a decent grill surround and a grill paid the price for that minor parking place bump. I vote to leave the bumper there. Gene

The bottom of the fenders and grill hang below it anyway and I personally doubt the bumper would stop much anyway. The rear is a different story it is butt ugly back there and I'm kicking around either a rear bumper or roll pan. 1957 Plymouth (Hemi, Dual Quads, A833 4 Speed 9 1/4 w 4.10) Sold 1937 Dodge Pickup (Hemi, 6X2 intake, 46RH, Dana 60 w 4.56) Sold 1968 Plymouth Valiant 2dr sedan (354 HEMI, 46RH w/4.30 gears)
