An other ex Bubba job rectified.
Hi
Last winter, during cosmetical work on my 68 big block convertible, I noticed that the front chrome bumper R/H brace was missing !
The bumper was just bolted to the fiberglass front. This was obviously due to a front crash and Bubba didn't think that replacing this structural member was necessary. It was not forgotten as the wheel well hole was plugged with a thin piece of sheet metal, shown in the first pic.
It cost me 60 $ from ZIP for a new part + my time.
Lots of more Bubba jobs to be found and fixed !
First pic as it was, second pic as it is now.
Gunther :seeya

I`ll have to go look at mine and see if mine even has these brackets. I am rebuilding the front suspension and can`t remember seeing these things.
