Mustang booty shots
We know this old pony was backed into or rear ended multiple times so things were tweaked out of shape. When we went to test fit the new bumper, it fit as badly as the crumpled up one we took off.
The beat-up bumper in the photo below is pushed high and rolled forward, contacting the quarter panel extensions and leave a huge gap at the bottom.
After straightening the bumper mounting brackets, we ended up taking a pie cut out of each one to change their shape and align the new bumper to the body. Once welded up and painted, things come together as they should.
Pieces are cut from the brackets, leaving them joined where the lines meet.
Once cut, the brackets are bolted to the bumper and the bumper fitted to the car so the brackets can be bent to the desired angle.
Once the angle is set, the brackets are removed and welded back solid.
Bumper guards attach behind the bumper and through the lower rear valance. The lower valance panel was replaced because the original was full of holes and body filler.
