I traded a crappy Dan Gurney spare to @euor911 for this crappy bumper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I had planned on using it for the Subaru conversion but it was just too much work to bring it back to something worthwhile so it's been in the attic until now. This V8 conversion had the large Renegade cut out in the front so I dug this out and with very little trimming it fits the build. I welded a couple of gussets in so the incoming air flows threw the radiator instead of out the sides of the bumper. You guys that have added a radiator know what I'm talking about. I need to spray some hi build primer, sand and paint it next.





Hey..Hey Kent

I thought Ben and I were the only ones modifying bumpers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Just kidding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Nice job my friend!!!

A few months back I attached the ducktail spoiler using Tinnerman washers and some Bev headed brass screws w/ lock nits. I was good with that install until I noticed the witness marks left in the trunk seal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

This is what I used that left the impressions on the seal. Even though the nut was flush with the trunk skin.

Then I found these solid SS beveled washers and the 6mm x 1.00 Bev head screws.

Attached Image

I increased the inner hole diameter to allow the nut to move up against the 2nd layer of metal which is the outer skin of the hood we always see. The trick was getting the nuts to line up with the screws in this void.. I placed a very small strand of butyl tape on the top of the nut then slipped the nut over a small drill bit. This let me push the bit and nut into the void and onto the screw.The butyl kept the nut from falling into the void and also acted as locktite so no lock washer was required. In one pic you can see the butyl that squeezed out. If the screws need to be removed one day then the butyl will keep the nuts in place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I pulled into the garage after a 1 hr drive and noticed my voltage was 11.3 and didn't change with RPM. Ignition off and I had 12.4 at the battery. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Dead alternator and it has less than 900 miles on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fyou1.gif) When I opened it up I found a little ball of fuzz laying against the fins of the rectifier so I probably fried a diode. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I'll test them tomorrow hoping to find that one is fried. If not the internal regulator took a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) . It's a Delco, one wire 10SI series and the only have three cooling fins ( one long and two short) so they're prone to heat failure anyway. If it does it again I'll go with a larger series that has 7 fins.

The fuzz ball that was sucked in the rear cooling slots:

Didn't get much done on the car this past month. The rainy, cold Wx consumes my energy. I did finally get my fog light's to work w/o kicking on my fans so thought I'd finish up the front area.

I traded a crappy old wheel with @euro911 for a crappy front bumper a few years back. I had planned on using it for my Suby conversion but ended up shelving it. After a little tweaking it fit the car so I cut it, welded and dolled it up a bit.

A new bumper top and Fog Light hardware (sans the black anodized screws).

I had a 1/2 sheet of this powder coated diamond sheet so I cut out a piece and fitted it up. It was very easy to shape with multiple curves and bends. It is riveted onto the bumper and the rivets are concealed by the bumper top.

And with the black grilles in place

Great work!
Here you go. HF must have complained because they're no longer "called out" in this ad. However, if you read the comments below the ad, several satisfied customers mention that their HF blasting cabinets were total transformed into functioning cabinets. Order the catalog; it's free. They are an Internet Body Shop supply. They currently have a sale going on.

Just now getting around to checking out your V8 thread out (rainy day - lazy day) - and also checked out the link to the gun upgrade kit. Nice addition to the stable, Kent.

I have an HF blast cabinet with 'the kind' vac unit ...

... but it's nothing compared to the $20k cabinet I had access to when I was gainfully employed at a major aerospace company (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)


They're listing the upgrade kit at $90.00. I'm not in a hurry, should I wait for a sale? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

They do have a sale a couple of times a year. IIRC, an honest 10% off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I guess I should update this thread too. Between the record low SoCal temps and torrential rains I was able to repurpose the front fairing which came off the black '73 Suby 6. Rather than Pontificate a fairly simple procedure I'll list just the pic's.

Here it is still on the '73. Just a rough cutout and an aluminum flange screwed to the bottom of the cutout. A LE replica replaced it so I decided to use it here. Besides repairing a damaged screw flange it needed a scoop of sorts and to flare out the ends to meet the flares. The flange is an aluminum skeleton with 4 wraps of glass mat and then attached to the old fairing with 4 overlapping pieces.
