Cheap-barth!

Here is what they look like on. The bumpers are mounted on a spare piece of tubing that fits into the existing bumper hole. I drilled a hole that matched the diameter of the tube into the bumper and glued it on. Dad thinks the glue won't hold so we may cross drill it with some screws. The fit is a little gap-ish, it's really hard to match the curve of the fender and it took a lot of sanding and checking. I'm going to fill in the gap between the body and bumperettes with some black caulk and then paint the whole thing black because the finish on the bumpers is a little worn. Next week the back bumpers which should be waaay easier than the fronts.
