It's early, I'm off work for a couple of days....it's Christmas and my two daughters are home. Everyone is sleeping so I thought I'd post this while making a coffee. I've seen a couple of post on the rear bumpers, people asking you if your bumper is upside down and to me it's probably the only thing I dislike about the 57 fords. I asked my fabricator if we could do something here, so we wrapped the bumper around a little more at the ends, I just wanted to show you that and see if it's a noticeable change. Rob actually added metal to the ends of the bumper. We probably could have gone in a little more, but that was my call not his. Well it's chromed and done.

Here is one, its hard to get a side shot in my garage, but I will pull it out side at some point and get some.

I also never liked the way the back bumper looked on the customs. To me they looked like they were just sticking out up in the air at an odd angle. I think their general idea was to try and "blend" the bumper ends at the same angle as the hard line on the lower rear quarter. The idea probably looked good on paper, but inho, didn't work in production. I like the clean look of rolled pans, and was itching to try my hand at some custom body alterations, so went that route. Of course I have zero protection in the back, but I have a plan for that!
I'd like to see a side pic of the bumper as well.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe
