Post your rear bumper PIX!

albertom · 08-11-06, 10:40 AM

Hey guys, i went wheelin the other day and completely destroyed my rear bumper, i wanted to ask anyone and everyone with a 70 to give me ideas. I have a guy that said he would do a replica of pretty much any bumper i showed him provided it was a good pic.... so... please help me out!

I need it to be TOUGH and handle more than a few hits.. i also need a hitch to drag along my other toys (motorcycle).

Thanks!
Alberto

Mine is nothing on the above but it was very cheap and easy, I crushed my factory bumper in the bush and replaced it with a leftover piece of 100 x 100 x 3mm ( 4x4x1/8" ) steel tube. I just capped the ends and welded it to the back of the towbar plates. It is perfect to put a hi-lift under to lift the car and is much stronger than the factory one. It's plain-looking but does the job. Total cost including aluminium and powdercoating the towbar was about AUD$100 ( USD$70 )

OK...I have to know 2 things...what's the crazy jelly-fish thing...and do you work with aircraft skins or is that licence plate a fluke?

It's the flying spaghetti monster, check it out @ www.venganza.org/
They are our local Ballarat plates, yep just a fluke, I know 6061 from aluminium bike components.

Previous owner built the bumper, looks like a 4x6 tube. I added the swing away carrier from Tomken for Jeep. Some modding to make it all fit.
