Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Now it was time to start on the front bumper, man this was a big job for just a bumper. Anyways I cut up the front and rear bumpers for a 51 ford car. the ends are from the rear bumper and the middle section is the front. I wanted the contour to run full length.

Here are the pictures

the parts needed...



tacked





once welded you can see the ends don't line up




after some cutting and grinding they do






Next it was time to make mounts




and mounted and smoothed




Continuing with the frontend I started to modify the 54' ford headlight bezels so the were removable. First I TIG welded a tab of stainless to the backside on the bottom to hold it in.



then I bent up a mounting tab for the top for the screw to go into



together, had to add a tack on either side of the tab to keep it from moving around (still need to counter sink the screw hole a little more)




Now I decide to mount the steering column. First up I made a steering column clamp mount



welded one half to the dash



bolted together





and seen from the engine bay



sand lastly I fab a little panel to hold the key switch and headlight switch





Ok now this is up to date! Ill try to not go so long next time...


Thanks for looking, let me know what you all think?
