I could swear I've seen a car or two here that has a chrome front bumper that has been opened up for the oil cooler inlet for a trunk mounted cooler.
Anyone have photos or details they can share about it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Kev |

We have made quite a few for customers and actually have one installed on our 1972 retro concept car six 9142430257. We take our original fiberglass gt bumper measure from it, then cut a chrome bumper rewelding the bottom lip up higher and then get another chrome junk bumper for the two vertical sides. We grind it smooth and then send it out to the bumper shop for a rechrome. Looks great, matches the gt front valance perfectly, and certainly provides the cooling opening needed for the gt front oil cooler
