I ordered a glass front bumper. I was wondering about brackets??? VFN will make them from mine for $80.00 for four pcs. I have been running two (just the inner) would that be enough for a glass bumper?

Hi John those brks are pretty big aren't they? I think they are the same as whats on my 69 Super Bee.
When I put fibreglass on the front of my Barracuda the brkts were worth buying. They might have saved as much weight as the bumper!
Plus you want to spread the support for the bumper to hold it as rigid as possible or it will flap when you get up to speed! Don

Looks good! How thick is the alum.? Did you weigh them? I bet you saved 20#s. Don
