Full Version: back dating bumpers
how much work is involved to back date a 75 to 72 bumpers.
Finding nice bumpers at a reasonable price will be more work then bolting them on.
It's more than just bolting them on.
You have to trim a metal lip off the front of the car, remove your huge shock mounts, install plates to cover the holes they leave behind. Next you have to measure out and drill the mounting holes and source dog bone rubber mounts to install your back dated bumpers.
