Aluminum Bumpers

A lot of cars used those aluminum bumpers from Vega's or Camaro's for their race cars. I am using one for a current Modified Build so I thought I would show the simple steps on how I make mine. I use .040 x .250 styrene, then .040 x .100 styrene.

I appreciate people that actually build and post models.

Wow david, that's a great idea. You might just see one of these on my vega since I haven't glued the rear bumper on yet. Do you bend the ends or do you glue them and round them?

Oh, you mean they LOOK like aluminum, but you still used plastic.
I am a little slow, you know.

This is a very good tip. These bumpers were used on a lot of Fords, in the late model class, in our area.
Thanks David.

I've thought about doing this but was too chicken to try it. Your approach looks pretty easy. I have a few resin ones but always seem to need more. Thanks for sharing.
