    ,So i screwed up when i bought a bumper from a fellow HAMBR last week (not his fault) i bought a 55 Buick Special front bumper not thinking nor remembering i have a Super and a 1950 no less.So the special is about 3 inches shorter. So last night while nippin on a jug of Jack Black and staring at the ass end of my buick i had a brainstorm,so i tore the 55 bumper apart and here are some pic's resulting from a mid bottle buzz....tell me wathca think.I will post mor pic's when finished

    Building a car with a buzz on is dangerous!
    (Dangerous because you keep thinking up more stuff to do)
    I've been building mine for 9 years now, if that tells you anything.

    Awe, come on Brian, did it end up 1-1/2" or 7-1/2"? And by the way, keep on going like you are with the Buick, it's gonna rock when it's finished.

    Let me explain: metal chip meets eyeball = ER visit. Metal chip meets safety glasses = bounces off. Safety is no accident.:rolleyes:
