    Painting bumpers

    To some degree I agree. It really depends on the car and the overall theme. THis is one of my old cars. It wouldn't have looked right with chrome bumpers.

    Well, the beauty with both women and cars is they have a front and a back and many of them should only be admired from a distance.

    Full Repaint Question

    It depends on the level of re-paint. Are you changing the color? How much work does it need? How far do you want it stripped down? What paint is currently on it. Around me you are looking at 5-10 for a basic re-paint and about 20k for essentially a frame off really stripped down job.

    PPG or Omni Experience?

    Omni is garbage, always has been, and their colors suck too. Put their black next to quality paint and it looks like mud...brown. I've used PPG, never cared for it. FOr base I like House of Color, Spies and Dupont. For clear I like Dupont or SPies. I just bought a gallon of HOC Jet Black and...

    Yes, the aluminum ones are good to go for a steel bumper. He sells to thicknesses. PM @motorhead446 for brackets. He did have a website but I don't see it.

    Rear Bumper Odd Question.

    There are 6 bolts IIRC on the rear bumper. Are you talking about only using the outer most two mounts? Lingenfelter makes aluminum brackets for steel and glass bumpers. I have them on my car and they fit perfectly.

    New hood options

    440 dart with 6 pack hood. With my new engine combo it is tight, as in, even with a drop base air filter the rear of my air filter just touches the hood. I'm guessing the most common option recommended will be a hemi scoop, but what are my options here to get something that looks good and...

    Mini tub 70 Dart??

    It's pretty self explanatory and many here have done it, some of us multiple times. Was there specific question you had? The one thing is i'd only use RMS boxes as they are adjustable.

    Bumper brackets

    I have no access on mine to the backside of that bracket. They are a PITA to get those bolt on. My hand alone barely can get up in there.

    Afternoon project? 1973+ bumper reinforcment removal for weight reduction...worth it?

    Every pound counts. I'm certain you can pull at least one pound out of the from bumper mounts/brackets. I know you can on a 67-69 dart. Just getting rid of those ugly cow pushers would help
