Opinions, please! Which bumper overrider do you like better on my shoebox Ford?!?

My car is a '51 Ford heavily chopped, The Flying Monkey. Gonna have to use your imagination a bit, but here's the choices. The rear of my car is similar to this one.

1951 Mercury overrider


An early 50's Chevy


Kaiser Guard


and the curveball, find a way to make this 54 Mercury bumper work(dunno if its possible, I just like the look of it) and possibly incorporate any of the above.



Figure each item is around $150, except the Chevy overrider, which I have one laying around.

 

Definitely Kaiser.

 

Use the kaiser and route the exhaust through those little bullets...

 

You left off one in the opinion poll,,,,none of the above,,,,

I like the stock Ford bumper,,,my .02 cents worth.

But if you must the Mercury is the better option. HRP

Chuck DeWitt's Barris-built Ford convertible with Kaiser guards on '51 Ford bumpers just to give you an idea.

 

HAHA watching the same bumper.

 

they all look clean.. I like the kaiser but that merc is looking good also. Good luck man..

 

I vote the Merc overrider. Nothin beats a Kaiser, BUT its a little too bulky on a shoebox IMO.
