New build thread; 48 Plymouth

[40FordDeluxe]

I kind of wish I didn't read your last post because I googled Briz bumpers and looked at their site. They have pics on there of 39s and 40 Fords with them and I think I may have a change in heart about removing my bumpers. I called to get a price on them.

Yeah, these are really a great deal. At $225 a piece I couldn't even find good used stock ones for that. Re chromed ones were $600 a piece!

I was surprised when I spoke to the lady yesterday when she told me that price. Now I have to decide if I want bumpers or not. They will be so low that the only real protection in the front will be to curbs but the rear might slow down a newer low car. I really like the look of a 40 ford with no bumpers. But I like these ribbed bumpers too. It gives the car a real vintage look IMO.

Decisions...Decisions...Decisions... and that is on only 1 project!

Finished up polishing and putting on the last of the stainless today. That is one hideous job I'm glad to have finished. If I ever build another car of this era, I'm welding up all the trim holes.
