Shaving Rear Bumper!! Rollpans?

[zeewhiz]

Hey Guys!

Since you were so helpful on my last problem, let me ask you another question...I am shaving the rear bumper on my '77. Do you know of any one who makes "roll pans" for the Z, or am I going to have to make one my self?

Thanks for your comments! :paranoid:

zeewhiz,

From my research ( I have 1977 with no rear bumper) there are no rear kits for shaved bumpers. Motorsport Auto sells the rear bumper/valence that it is part of a body kit. If you are going for the no bumper smooth look, you would have to weld in some steel were the bumper shocks come through and other holes. A buddy mine just took a whole complete piece of steel and replaced from the rear light panel down. Some body filler, sanding and some good metal prepping and your done. Be careful with the heat settings as you are welding in panels -Z body sensitive to heat !!!!!
