how did you tie in your split bumper???

I am getting ready to put a 55 poncho split rear bumper on my 54 chevy and I was curious what some of you have done to fill in the split area?

I am running a Kaiser over rider too, not that it matters, just saying

so any one have any pics or suggestions?

I was thinking of breaking the gravel gaurd down in between the two?

 

I haven't started yet but my plan is to get rid of the factory gravel pan, **** the bumper as close to the body as I can get and make a new gravel pan to fill it in.

 

thanks antibling , any one else? pics?

 

thanks for the overwhelming response guys

 

come on guys!!! jeeze!

some body?

 

I will bump it up for you!

 

alright guys the hamb is falling into **** status real quick here...

one of the most popular rear bumpers ever used and noone has a pic???

thans koolkemp, at least you and antibling care...

Im gonna go cry now...

seriously...

okay okay, no not really put post something or I will have to have a thread with 10 pages of my rambling about how that hamb has failed me!!!

 

Ask skyrodder he put 1 on his 54 chevy

 

i got the same setup, what i'm gonna do is put the bumper where ever i want it, then figure it out, I have seen a few cars with that bumper on Ricksters site, but no close shots.. sorry i was useless

 

Car is looking AWESOME Omar! Did you bag the rear end? Those skirts & hubcaps make a big difference.

 

no that was photoshop, gonna buy 4 link and bags soon.. thanks bratha!

 

here are a few pics i found just cause i am bored

 

i had the bumper on mine before, but took it off to do the qaurters on it, i hadnt done any sheetmetal work when it was on

 

thanks for the pics skyrodder! you're the jimmy jamb!

any one else that has any to share dump them here

we can make this the official pontiac split bumper thread

 

any one?

 

I think you use a 55 Pontiac grille sheetmetal to go in between the bumpers.

 

yea but I am talking about the rear bumper, or is that what your talking about?

 

Heres a pic, I think they use to start with the panel between the bumpers, then you cut and modify till if fits your needs.

 

ive got one for my 53 and i was just going to form the sheetmetal once i got in a spot i was happy with. enjoying the pics though bttt

 

so for the love of god will some one post some more pics

and remember guys REAR BUMPERS

 

you guys hate me dont you...

its okay, I understand.

 

Couldn't you just do a small roll pan there? What's on a factory pontiac bumper, that should help you out a ton!

 

haha! yes chaddilac thats what I am asking for pics of

I feel confident that I can fumble my way through it however I would like to see how others have done it to kind of use as a base...

also trying to get a gauge for spacing for and aft as well.

 

I had a hard time figuring that out on my 51. I decided to go with a 55 chevy bumper.

 

This help?

 

Here are a couple of pic's I found.

 

thanks guys! Timmy P, looks great mang!

Chaddilac, thanks for the pic, are you being a smart ***? that pic is aweful big...

and slick a&t, thats rad that you actually found a 54 to boot!

I think I am going to try and tie it in like the stock one as I want to extend my quarters a little bit and that would help to bring it all together!

 

This car is from my little town ! Havent seen it in a few years apparently it got torn apart for a frame off and stalled out mostly due to lack of experience.....too bad I would have just drove it and had fun with it....Canadian Pontiac ragtop very few left around!

 

really??? who in the hell tears apart a convertable poncho that is that nice???

 

are you planning on running the over rider? looking forward to seeing some progress pics. - Rhys
