Pumpkin spice..

FJ55 Toyota Bumper Silver 007.....






Or as I like to call it "a mixture of stuff I had" that matched the color the other shop used with a lighter flake in the metallic..

So… glitter?

Introduces @bobm to the urban dictionary and everything changes

WTF dat mean

 

[J Mack]

So… glitter?

Ha... No.
The other shop used a heavy flake silver metallic paint and it didn't look right to me on a 70's car bumper so I toned it down to a lighter flake silver..
It's a small change but it looks right when you see it.

WTF dat mean

Perfectly excellent!
A new prerequisite for future Pig Parties!

Still going, root canal, cold weather/ wet paint and family from out of town has slowed some progress.

So the holes in the fenders are too big for the keepers, their fix was to roll up some sticky tape and hope for the best!
Unfortunately both sides were falling off under their own weight, this wasn't going to work long term or the first time you tried to wipe it down.

The studs are the same size as a #6-32 screw, I ran a die nut by hand and cut threads in the studs. These emblems are plastic but my pot metal emblems on my pig are held on the exact same way.

A little dab of blue loctite and tighten lightly.

Nice and flush, should be good to go now!
Not that this princess would ever go through a car wash but mine has made several trips and the emblems are still there!

Man, too bad about the sticky tape.
Maybe just pump it full of silicone next time and run a couple self-tappers through it for good measure.

I'm just an armchair keyboard Internet prick that hits things with hammers...

I got lucky and was able to mount the bumper without smashing all the filler out.

Both bumpers look great, I'm crossing this off the list!

The Pig Eater could drive it today if he was here, it is done as far as his list of wants and now I'm just doing the final build stuff like going over nuts and bolts one more time, checking A/C charge, touching up paint, all the little stuff.
