OK folks I have had a few inquiries about the bumper that my father made for our '84 GL. I have a better picture of it at my website now (http://members.aol.com/kenwilfy) or I can pmail it to you. He was thinking that the price should be around $100. We would need your stock mounting brackets and then would weld the bumper to the brackets. This bumper could also include a tow hitch. Someone asked about using other more beefy brackets to allow you to pull more weight. I am not sure if you would want to tow anything that heavy as the motor or drivetrain might be damaged. Any opinions on that subject? Also had some interest in my father welding up some mock-Projectkzo bumpers. He took a look at the pictures and said he could do it we would just have to see if there was enough demand and then make one to see how much it would cost. I am relatively sure that they would be a good deal cheaper than the Projectkzo ones and you wouldn't have to worry about shipping from Germany. Let me know if there is any interest in this. Thanks Ken Wilford John 3:16 |
