65 Valance Modification, Bumper Delete
I am doing some minor restoration on a '65 Barracuda I was working on for someone that bailed on the project years ago and now the car is mine. I'm doing it on a budget and instead of paying $600 for a new bumper (bumper on car had the ends that wrap the fender cut off for some reason) I've decide to put bracing in lieu of a bumper behind the valance and modify the valance itself. I had looked at some fiberglass ones but they are pricey and ones that I actually liked are hand made and not for sale. Not welded up yet but I will be welding tomorrow night and taking to the painter, where the rest of the car is, tuesday. Should have finished photos then. Thoughts??
