Nice job Pat!
What made you decide to go with aluminum brackets? Yours seem to be in excellent shape. Just wanting to shave a little bit of weight? Larry, Yes all of my original mounts are in very good condition but I was just trying to cut more weight off the front of the car. Thank you Pat

Love the fab work you're doing on bumpers. I drew the bumpers in on my 74 Challenger (Just another 74 Challenger thread) to make them more like earlier models. Rears were easy but fronts were a bit more of a challenge. (in-board ones hit frame rails when moved in) I hadn't considered just fabbing new ones so I chopped up stock ones Bumpers seem to fit well but after seeing your mods, I may revisit possible mods on mine before I finish. Blacking out mine (all black car) Keep up good work. Would love to see earlier pics that are currently not viewable due to PhotoBucket issues. Cant wait to see final project! Scott

Scott Scott, Photo Bucket screwed up a lot of Great threads on a lot of forums, very sore subject. I hope to follow up and replace the photos one day but it's just very time-consuming as you know. Thank you. Pat

How did you go about making the bends for your bumper mounts?
