Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

Here's a link to some info I posted on how to eliminate the crash bumper fill panels and pull the bumpers in approx an inch and a half on each end. Still not happy with the ends protruding out past the body lines though. The cure for this is to narrow the bumpers an inch on each side. My bumpers are in great shape and the chrome is in VG Driver condition. To do this means stripping the chrome, cutting an inch out of each side, rewelding and finishing the splice then rechroming. A bunch of work and expense. Painted bumpers won't go with my paint plans. Another option is replacing the rear bumper with a '70-'72 which I have on hand. But the '73 & up have a pointed front end. I'm currently researching if an earlier front bumper could be made to look right.
