Hi
Has anyone got any close up pics of a 'Monte Carlo' front bumper please? 1972 type.
Cheers.

How close do you need?
The horizontal was split into three pieces, with tabs welded at the cut ends and captive nuts welded to those tabs. The overriders simply had holes drilled in the sides to correspond with the horizontals, and bolted through. Pretty simple in theory. You just have to find the 'right' overriders...

Didn't someone sell a bumper like this through the forum a couple of years ago?
I think that will be the 'solution' I bought off Pete Mac. It's a modern design (Star Motorsport I think) not a 'period' style but it's very good. Not fitted but I have plans and lamps.
It worked as a solution but not quite the same in a few ways. Post up a few pics though Rob.
As I said it's a very good solution. I say solution because the front hinging bonnet does not make fitting decent lamps easy.
With any of these 4 lamp 'solutions' I think they spoil the uncluttered front of a 240Z and I would only fit them to a rally car.
I think it looks uncluttered, however I agree its not quite as pretty. its a bolt on though.
............ but not quite the same in a few ways. Post up a few pics though Rob.
Why do you need 'pics' Jason if you know enough to say this? I don't have any by the way.
Do a photo-shop job on that car and put a standard bumper, number plate and no spot-lights to compare.
My brain is wired such that when I see added spot lights on a car, it immediately associates it with rallying.. it needs works style mudflaps at the rear if that was desired look.
However if it was a case of just being different, then target achieved
I get your point, it add's a rally feel, a Monte rally feel. Its about being different, I just like the presence from the look/being slightly unique.
And why not? Build what you like and not follow the norm.
To finish the look I would add the twin megaphone "works style" exhaust system that will be on the market shortly
No. I understand our resident exhaust expert will be retailing theae according to a post on FbAre you going to be selling? I don't think i'd want on on this car. I am going to do it as I want, its only bolt on so i'll have a normal style option also.
