  • minigun rear view

    doing final stuff to rear bumper, its saggin a little because its just hanging, not bolted to mounts.

    Im going to use square exhausts tips , should I have them haning below the bumper or notch the bottom lip and have them sitting higher ? I think they would look better in a notched bumper.

    NOTE, the black cable is part of the clutch, it will be tucked up, the other two pipe are part of the exhaust, not much I can do about them , ran out of room

    I have noticed that the tail lights will be block when viewed from certain angles from the side. I may install small marker lights in the rear fender flares behind the tires.

    No spitters were I work, you swallow it all. The Company feels if you already have it in your mouth why waste it.

    I always like them to come out and rake up [45 degrees?] Not too long though. Make sure it doesn't stick too far put that you slice your leg on it. I keep forgeting about my trailer hitch and whack my leg (on it) when I go to open the hatch.

      I would say notch the bumper and have the bottom of the pipes flush with the bottom of the bumper but since you have other exhaust piping already visible I think it wouldnt look bad if you just put a little notch in the bumper and had only 25% of the tip recessed into the bumper.

      kind of like this



      I dunno...

          Notch the bumper Mike. I think you need a "Wide Load" sign for that thing!!!

                          older pic , I have always wanted to go silver, all my cars are silver except the green festiva, I dont have to worry about painting hidden spaces and silver hides bad body work .
