Bumper problems. 1968 Mustang front bumper. (problems) Jade part 89

[@JamesMurray-uz4ep]

Thanks for the info.on the bumper. I've always started by attaching fender brackets first,then install 1 nut and bolt nearest to center

[@JamesMurray-uz4ep]

Works well with installation

[@johnbelcher5156]

Worked perfectly. Thank Jo. Really appreciate all your help.

[@mitchdebenedetto7442]

Lookin' good Barry!

[@gregworkshop5713]

hi barry the bumper is looking very good well dun

[@davekarr7151]

You are supposed to use those waffle like wave washers that go between the bumper & the brackets the prevent the bumper surface from sucking down. You had that problem when you mounted the rear bumper

[@rickstevenson7483]

Bumper looks awesome Barry

[@jerrysgaragethemoneypit2028]

I used neoprene washers and they worked out well.

[@davediyguy2198]

Some great tips Barry, looking beautiful, thank you

[@rickyouthouse9583]

I have used gasket material between the paint and the part being bolted on

[@wswan81]

Still love the way ya work around issues. Keen for more vids and to see Jade hit the streets.

[@stallionranchwoodworks]

Shaved bumpers always look nice. I have 2, so I may experiment with that.

[@vinnas]

Great tip Barry! I got the same problem. I'll give your method a go. I was going to make my own bracket, use longer bolt and pack it with washers.

[@Mr572u]

When I built my car, I put rubber tape between parts, all over the place. It is an anti squeak thing for me.

I’m downloading this video, because I have no internet in my barn.

Think when I put a new front bumper on my car back in the 80s I just gave up on those side brackets. When I get around to replacing it again, I will certainly try this trick.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Great work!!! Way better!!!!

[@estpst]

That's a big gap!

[@jkmorgan1975]

You must have purchased the same “CJ Classics” bumper from CJ pony parts as I did. I have the same problem, I will try your method. Thanks

[@badharryshideaway3665]

My bumper is a lot worse than yours. I have nothing to loose so I am going to give it a try with the strap. But first I have to pull the inner brackets off and grind down as I can't even get the bumper to slide in to get the bolts on. Did I mention I hate aftermarket CRAP!

[@callofgeorge]

nothing is ever "simple/easy" Barry.. you of all people should know that by now lol. excellent work on that bumper though.. i honestly wouldn't have thought to try that.. my first thought was, well that sucks.. time to cut/weld/re-chrome.. mine didn't fit all that great either, so before pain i'll have to do something.

[@dale707]

they make the rubber bolt nut for that bumper to finder bracket

[@10223220]

Looks like you forgot the wave type washers under the bumper but it looks great 👍

[@johnlofthouse9663]

Did you have the spring washers that go under the nut ?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I don’t remember for sure.

[@jamesself2409]

Jo Daddy, Jade looking good++++

[@secretjuice6725]

I have a 68 fastback. I can only get to 2 out of the 6 front bumper bolts removed. In your video the bolts under the headlights are so easy to remove. Mine are totally blocked.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Did you remove the valance panel?

[@secretjuice6725]

@@JoDaddysGarage Nope. That must be required? Thank you

[@JoDaddysGarage]

It will help for sure.

[@michaelhood1291]

But you didn’t show how you got the fender / bumper bolts done! 😩

[@barblemons5397]

Kinda like they done it in nascar for years before templates
