Posted January 25, 200520 yr comment_110073 Hey i was wondering just out of curiousity has someone made their own set of bumers?I had a idea, maybe somebody could take a set of bumpers and use em as like a press to bend aliminum or stainless steele into new bumpers.Then you would have rust proof bumpers, and matyber they would be cheaper then buying new ones.Has anyone tried this? Or is anyone interestead in trying this?Anyone have any ideas?Thanks Bill Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14760-home-made-bumpers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 25, 200520 yr comment_110075 Bill, that would have to be the most wackiest idea I've heard today! The metal is way to thin to use as a stamp, you could however use it as a mould for a carbon fibre bumper...

January 25, 200520 yr comment_110115 Or you could just do like on the 80's jacked up to the sky Toyota truck owners and cut off a section of an old telephone pole and just bolt it up.
