I have a few rust free bumpers. My location is really rust free. The rear tow hooks will be the "insurance" chain locations.

Without a doubt that rear bumper beam is in the best shape of any Ive ever seen. They are usually rusted away. I think the rear tiedown/towbar connection would be stronger. Hopefully Festyboy wont hold it against you for mistaking him for me. ;^)

Awesome job on the bumper. Its like a clean refined version of my hitch bumper. I know you will envy the jagged hole I cut in the bumper cover.

edit: I just remembered how nice the paint was on my car before I started camoflauging it.Last edited by resuwrecked; 05-10-2011, 09:07 PM.

Update..
Jack spotted major wobble on my drivers side drum. I went and got rear wheel bearings. Then the drivers side drum and spindle were shot. The axle beam was so West Virginia'd, aka rusted, that the bottom strut bolt was spinning free and not coming out. That was on the drivers side. I made a plan to cut a hole below it and get to the back of that bolt. But first I decided to check the pass side lower strut bolt. It snapped off.....
I ordered a used one from a junk yard that networks. It is getting shipped in. Will be here in 2 days. Paid $150 for a loaded rear axle beam. I didn't want to but I have to have this festy ready for a Dallas trip in a week and a half.
In better news I installed the aspire master cylinder. I also repaired a rear seat issue in my quest. And I pieced together a good sending unit fuel pump for Jack's latest festy. It's a black 92 Sport! That got it running.
But in even better news I present the James bond trailer hitch. It needs to be refined just a bit. But about another hour and it will be ready for service.
