Hot Rods what is this front bumper

from? i know it is the same truck with different paint. thanks in advance.

 

have you checked carnut.com?

 

Looks home built.

 

i did look but i didn't go crazy.

i was kinda thinking the same thing.

 

I would say Dodge truck.

 

problem is it doesn't match anything i find.

 

I would say that it is a barley legal bumper in states that require one.

I am going to suggest that it has been sliced and diced and that you are not going to find an exact match to it.

 

Wow, Benno... "Barley legal"? That would put it in the weeds... An' 'that ain't hay'...

 

It looks european to me. I was thinking Alfa Romero, their grille would fit in the dip, but haven't found it yet.

 

A Vee'd spreader bar, on steroids...

 

There's this one. Interesting car started with a MG, '38 Ford nose, '34 fenders and a '61 Jag bumper cut down.

 

uhhhhh.......I am not 'buying' that the bumper on the Special roadster started life as a bumper from a Jag like the one pictured. That said, I do not have an alternative suggestion

Personally I would turn it upside down and hang licence plate in centre. Don't know what it is off.

 

redo32 is close. It's a 1964 Jaguar mkII front bumper with the ends trimmed off.

 

you may be on to something there. it looks the part.

thanks everybody for the help.

 

It is turned that way for two reasons one is to clear the crank hole and the other is to accentuate the shape of the grill.

@Atwater Mike I tried for quite a while to look past the barely legal suggestion but I finally had to succumb to my baser instincts. LOL

 

Wow,

This is cool, Whats the story?

 

I don't know if it is the same car but there was one like it in the KC area. back in the late '90s. Built by a fella in his barn/garage. he started with an MG and some Ford fenders and went from there. I don't recall what it was running.

 

I went back to his build thread see it here..........http://www.britishv8.org/mg/danroot.htm

 

Yep that's the one I was thinking about, the Star did an article on him and his car when I was still working there.

 

Yep, I realise that. It's just that there is a bit of hot rodder in me, so I like to change things, and I'm unlikely to need a crank start.

 

LOL we used to say if it aint broken fix it 'til it is. That's hot rodding 101 right there.

 

UNBELEVABLE.

 

I keep thinking this would be a neat thing to do to a PT Cruzer convert tub.

 

If you look it even has the hole dead centre in the dip where the club badge is bolted to and the overriders (bumperettes) are identical
