68 GTO custom bumper part 2

[@kevinnitz3438]

When I painted the rear bumper on my 70, I had it acid dipped instead of grinding off all the chrome. I think I paid $100 (15 yrs ago). Came out real nice

I thought about that. But I wanted to do some extra welding, so I knew no matter what. I would have been burning most of it off welding. That's a great idea though.. All the best

It's looking good. I'll be doing my 68 soon. I'm fortunate to be working with all original quarters, fenders, doors and front and rear bumpers. My core support is aftermarket. I saw the videos you've done on getting all the gaps to work on your new panels. I appreciate your dedication and attention to detail . I was contemplating doing a rear defuser panel that would bolt to the bottom of the rear bumper that would basically cover the whole rear of the car where the gas tank would normally mount. Exhaust channels on each side between the outer frame and lower quarter panels for a clean underside look.

Thank you. Im Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I would like that clean look in the back as well. I'm debating a fuel cell. I won't have a lot of fuel to go a good distance. I am going to run my exhaust and dump them out in front of the rear tire. That way the exhaust is not going up over the rear axle. Thank you for commenting. All the best.

Another great video Harry! Those lines look great! It’s really coming along. Take care!

Thank you, Been really busy. It's just taking way too long to finish the work on the car. I keep changing my mind on how I want to do things. I'm thinking of making my windshield and my rear windshield flush mount. Which is going to take more time. Thanks for watching all the best Steve

@@classicrewind2715 I change my mind all of the time. So many ways you can go. That flush mount glass is a nice touch since you will be painting that rear bumper. It’s settled flush glass. Look forward to the video! 😏😂😂 Keep ‘em coming Harry!
