Thread: How to tuck in your front bumper on a model A Ford

Since there are a lot of rather complex angles on these brackets which I want to keep, while still shortening them by 3 1/2", I made up this simple jig to hold everything in the correct angular relationships before tackwelding them together. Once they are tacked together in 3 or 4 places with my 110 volt mig welder, I will remove the peices from the jig and take them over to my welding area where they will be preheated with oxy acetylene, then stick welded with my 220 volt Lincoln stick welder, to ensure thorough weld penetration.
