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

And there we are. I preheated the 2 peices to be welded to a dull cherry red, then immediately welded them solid using 1/8" diameter #6011 rod at 120 Amps. I did not notice any undue "spitting" or exploding" like I had been warned about when welding spring steel. Once the welds were completed, I let them air cool so as not to induce any cracks in the weld or the parent metal. I think they look great, and the next (and last) picture I post will show the shortened brackets and the bumper in place on the car.
