Re: Wife's 48

I have another question. Remember, I bought a bunch of parts, so I'm not sure if this bumper is a back or front.

It has that thing in the middle that looks like it might have been a license plate bracket for the rear.

So I started fitting to the rear, like it was the back bumper.

Then I checked the gap from above.

Ok, I don't know if this is too close or just about far enough out. Anyone care to give me some points to measure to?

I looked at the bumper brackets and of course I'm going to have to do something here too, I think.

They touch the spring hangers and there is an angle out from the frame. So if anyone has any words of wisdom, I'm listening!
