this is where i cut the bumper i made sure that i did not cut right on the corners but right next to it to keep the body lines correct you have to use a dolly to mold the metal then fill in whats missing i suggest grabbing another bumper to cut metal off of and make sure its the same thickness. i still want to make another cut and bend the bumper down to the bottom of the fender.

I don't dislike the 74-76 front end, it's pretty decent for that era of car. That said, I really think the front end you did on your car looks great! Very nice work!

Just saw this. I like the look, it does have the flavor of the 1972 front bumper, and this goes well with the body lines.
Main thing is, it's your car and you did what you wanted. Personally, I am OK with the battle ram bumpers but I will say I like the look. Well done. Oh and as far as pictures go, the trick is to your available lighting. You want to try having the sun at your back. If it's an extremely sunny day, the glare will cause issues. I can say my Iphone 6+ takes outstanding pictures, but I still have a Sony digital camera that can take up to 12MB photos and I still occasionally use it. |

Just found your thread about the bumper...Looks Great!
I checked and there's two 1970's Oldsmobile Cutless bumpers in the Junkyard near me...Just in case. lol
