1976 Chevrolet Camaro - Project G/28 - Bye-Bye Disco Bumper!
Alan Johnson: "That new bolt attaches the bracket to the top and bottom of the bumper instead of at the front. This allowed us to smooth the bumper and eliminate the bolts on the front. A word of caution: if you start welding or cutting with a torch on this impact absorber, it's filled with oil and it's under pressure, just like a shock absorber. Stuff's gonna go everywhere. This shows the new bracket that we made to bolt the bumper up. This picture shows a regular hex cap bolt. After we got everything fitted up, we counter-drilled the bumper and used countersunk bolts. That completely relocated the fasteners on the bumper to hide them. The bracket that holds the front bumper has a good deal of adjustment range from the factory, and all we did was max it out to pull the bumper into the body as much as possible."
