Hi Norm,

I know I have discussed this once when I was considering it was missing, but I couldn't remember much of what was said. Model numbers and years are unfortunately not going to help me in this case. I need pictures of something similar to my back bumpers to get the look right when we make them. I have severe doubts I will find one online. The only one I have found is on craigslist, and has a D badge in the center. It doesn't look similar to the rear bumpers either. I am trying to get a feel for dimensions, where it bends, how it attaches to the car so we can reproduce it. I wish I had draft plans for the bumper :).

If Justin Schiess is on here? Maybe he can posts many detailed pics as well? Showing all pieces and orthographic views of the bumper with dimensions? I would like to make it as close as possible to whatever is supposed to be on the car. I would really like to see how those two pieces of metal fit into the picture. I can't visualize how that would look flipped around with those two huge 180 degree loops at the end.

sometime next week I will have a radiator. yay. big step forward.

Thanks to whomever posts pics.

Hi Gerald

Just think of two single fish hooks lying in a straight line with bottom of J touching and then pull part so a space between. The barbed end on both of the J's (hooks) are away from the car and pointing left and right away from each other. The leader end of hooks have the upright bolt hole.

Its medallion to twin bars, an upright backing plate behind bars to act as clamp, when tightened, then the J with hole on flat part, washer and nut. Same both J's. Whole unit is then put on the front frame horns in the clamps there to hold full bumper.

D medallion is not your model.

Think you know that much already. Cheat and use a 30 / 31 Chevy bumper like my old 31 Chevy canopy express truck had. ha ha Wish I still owned it and not now as a sales stand in a store in Hawaii selling sunglasses to surfers. That's what the 1930 407 has up Pembroke way has for decades on that car.



Not having any luck finding a Justin Schiess in search and not on DMAC Roster back to 2006.

I found Justin ******* information on a 2004 Roster. phone # 716-244-4188 e-mail JFSSCH@aol.com his address is 966 Meigs Street Rochester New York 14820 Hope you can find him with the above info. Ten year old info isn't always good, but at least it's a starting point. You should check the current Roster for more up to date owners of similar vehicles. Good Luck

That actually helps a lot. I was trying to picture exactly in my mind how those pieces norm had told me were backwards were to attach to the bumper and I couldn't quite see it. Now it makes perfect sense. Your's are similar to mine, though mine at the back don't have a long piece that goes under the gas tank. they come directly off the frame on the two sides.

Thanks so much for those photos!

Now just to find one or make one.

Gerald.

Thanks Frank ....

Now you can see what I meant about fish hooks idea .. Gerald. I was going to draw you a picture and send via my reg mail to you but its been years since taking the drafting course at High School when I could draw a straight line. Graduated top of the class but Fed Govmt put a freeze on hiring. Even my half brother, couldn't get me in the drafting part of the Gov where he was manager, so I temporary went to MetLife HO until freeze was over. 36 1/2 years later, ha ha, I retired from Met as Tax Consultant. Never did get to use the drafting.

Hello Gerald,

Have you found the front bumper you'er lookin for....I have a two bar front bumper (flat style) that I think is either a M-4 or a 40 that would match up with your rear bumperetts...The bars are slightly sprung but should tweek back into alignment easily...If this is anything you might be interested in we will be headquartered in Mt. Vernon just south of Langly the 18 of July for about 5 days, the WOKR club is holding their national event in this area, we also plan to take our cars up to Friday Harbour on San Juan Island....Anyway, I could bring this bumper to Mt. Vernon or you are welcome to pick it up here in Leavenworth.
