I am gutting my BBBs. Man there is a lot of metal in there.
They probably won't weigh as little as the simple early bumpers when I am done, but they will weight a LOT less then the BBBs of old. Pics to come... Zach |

Pics of stage 1.
The subject: (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3172/2995966972_cee57284f2.jpg) Whats going in there (Hella Supertones!): (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3287/2995974666_25d8f2fd1e.jpg) I am going to drill a lower hole in the horn stem to center the horn in the opening. A custom grill will cover each fog light opening. I have yet to make that. I need to convince Scotty to bring his plasma cutter to cut out the center channel in the bumper. No way I have to get in there right now other then really chewing up the outside skin. When done, most of the bumper will only be 1 layer of steel , the center hollow and the back gone. It won't last in a crash, I guess. But neither would fiberglass.. Or early stockers. Zach |
