The tube just bends back and goes underneath where the chrome pannel was. brnbomr 01-21-2004, 10:44 PM is there a web site that has a pic. i was looking thought this web page and found non i like Kirby N. 01-21-2004, 11:20 PM Yep. I did It came out nice. I will post a link to some pics. Link (http://groups.msn.com/KirbyandChuck/kirbysnavajo.msnw?Page=2) Link (http://groups.msn.com/KirbyandChuck/chuckybachelorpartychinamens.msnw) brnbomr 01-22-2004, 02:55 AM that is what im talkin about, that looks great. brnbomr 01-22-2004, 02:58 AM what about cutting the metal right under the dore and getting the sliders up as high as they will go. any pics Kirby N. 01-22-2004, 08:31 PM I trimmed the pinch weld, but other than that I would not cut anything else under the doors. bipolarbob 01-22-2004, 09:29 PM Kirby that is sweet!I have been looking for bumper pics for a long time!Those look not too complex, and the whole cutting off the chrome thing looks cool,you could make the front & rear match.Can you shoot me a bunch of pics? I have collected probably 60 bumper pics from this site, yours is the coolest by far. cmacfarlane@shaw.ca (Edit) I allready have a bunch of your front bumper. And your back bumper from straight on.And now of the side of your rear bumper.I think it's good.I don't need any more unless you got 'em handy. brnbomr 01-23-2004, 01:27 AM kirby why would you not cut any more it seens that it would not do anything to harm the car Kirby N. 01-23-2004, 02:32 AM Bomr- I think it would go structural if you cutt the quarter panels off. For a inch or two (and not even that because your frame is still the lowest point) I would not compromise the integrity. I have seen a couple tubed out Scouts like that, but the Ex Quarters are a litlle different. If you look at the rear quarter, there is single wall construction. Under the doors it is double wall. Just my opinion. I think it might be interesting. Build it, and I will consider it after I see yours!:D Bob- Thanks for the Props. I am not sure if you are speaking of my old front bumper or my new one. I sold the one that is in most of my pics to alaskanjack. The one I just built for the front does match my rear bumper and it has a hole for a winch (someday). If you have seen my pics, chances are you have been in my community. Check the link below for my "homepage". There is a whole album of my Navajo. The last page has some of my latest front bumper. I am going to add a few things, but I am tired of working on it, so that is how it will sit for a while... brnbomr 01-23-2004, 06:40 PM if you say so i have other things i need to do first but you will see it i a few months when it is done.still working on the sas full 44 |
