My 1955 Chevy 3100 build

After looking at the front end of the frame, I realized that if I want the same clean installation for the front rectangular tube, I will need to do something about the front bumper brackets. I'm not sure why they ended up fitting inside the frame rails instead of on the outside of the rails like the rear bumper brackets, but they are in the way.

I cut some plates out of some 1/4" material I had laying around and drilled the holes in them. That is where I had to stop for the weekend. I plan to bolt the plates to the outside of the frame rails and weld them to the original brackets. I should be able to finish that project one night this week after work.

Eventually, I hope to post more than just pictures of my frame on this thread!
