I like my big black bumpers, but I don't like how heavy they are.
I was thinking that I could make a fiberglass mold out of the steel insert, and then fill that with some high density foam, like modern bumpers. Put it back in the rubber insert, and call it a day. Problem is, I don't know the first thing about laying up fiberglass. Help? Zach |
