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 |

Well, the bumpers will have the rubber cover over them. I doubt there will be a whistle.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) No bumper skin on yet, this is all just mock up. This took all freak'n day to fab up and put together. I work slow, but I feel that I hot a lot done. One of my supertones, mounted int he bumper where the fog light used to go. Steel grill is protecting it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.static.flickr.com-1435-1337606434.1.jpg) Pilot driver light mounting. I had to reverse the mounting bracked, and I welded in a nut to the other side of the bumper. The bolt holding the light to the bumper is an m10. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.static.flickr.com-1435-1337606435.2.jpg) Tit, light, horn. Will look better when the skin is on. Lots of holes in these bumpers now... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.static.flickr.com-1435-1337606435.3.jpg) Mounting bracket. Note the biiig hole that the shock used to go through. I am probably going to weld it shut, unless I can think of a good reason not to. The brackets were all fabbed from scrap salvaged from the bumper gutting process. The sheet steell is pretty thick, and made a nice bracket. Horn mounting from the back. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.static.flickr.com-1435-1337606435.4.jpg) So, yeah. I got the back bumper fabbed on too, but that was WAY easier, as I was not adding any other crap on to it. So, pretty much, I can put the skins on, and the bumpers are done. Yay! Got to order some of those plastic bumper attachment tabs though... I chiseled throu mine to get the bumpers off. No patience. My face is burned from cold, or maybe the kerosene heater. My hands hurt. I'm dehydrated. I want a cigar, but its too cold to smoke one. And, I feel like I am getting sick. Think I'll go have some single malt... Zach |
