Re: NON Automotive Parts used in your Build Lets See them Before and After
That kind of repurposed items I can live with but every time I see the term "non automotive item on a car" my brain says rat rod.
No photo but the rear crossmember on my 48's frame is a length of heavy Unistrut channel that I rescued from the scrap bin at work when I put a rear mount gas tank in and needed to remove the original crossmember. It just looks like a piece of 4 inch by ? rectangular tubing from the back. It originally supported stainless steel tubes up in the rafters at the fruit juice plant I worked in.
My rear bumper is a length of polished stainless steel pipe with stainless steel endcaps welded in. One of the salesmen I did business with gave me the end caps and the pipe was salvage used pipe out of the plant that my buddy tig welded the end caps and brackets on just before I drove the truck to Bonneville in 1998.
