1974-L Front Bumper - Fiberglass

Bob,

Have you found a glass front bumper? I just started posting on this forum and could help with the bumper if you still need it. Let me know. Thanks

Bob,
I installed one of Kirks' front fiberglass (full length) bumpers several years ago & can attest that it was a "piece of cake" to put on. Hardest part is removing the old bumper & its associated hardware. I found that I could install it from the front of the car with the headlights opened halfway with just a small wrench to tighten the nuts. Got my "Seal of Approval"!

Kirk........I almost forgot (too many projects). Yes...... could you email me any pics and or price information, that would be great! (rittwege@bellsouth.net).

Timing is good......I'm hoping to get my GT5 wheels from Marino soon, then I'll be working on the front bumper.......excellent !!

Please try to doc. / take photos of your install, I'd like to see. Thinking of doing to same.

Thank you
Brad

Bob, I used Kirk's split bumper also, I think they look great also

Has anyone used this smaller split bumpers on a wide body car? Love to see any photos if so. What do they cost?

I'm with Gary & Mark, I've got the split bumpers, plus Kirk's spoiler, and the quad headlights are soon to be on their way.

The front of my Pantera is a display for Kirk's product I guess.

Bob,

I'm still finding out how to maneuver this new forum and I'm working from my lap top which does not have pics on it. Would you drop me an email note to kre@adelphia.net and I'll send you info and bumper shots. Thanks,

Kirk

Gary,

I see your parked next to a yellow Pantera. Is the car still turbo charged? I built that car in 1984. Second---you're pulling a trailer in your tag photo. I'm building a new Pantera look-a-like trailer. Single axel, looks like the front and back together. Uses a full hood area access with big space but very light. I'll shoot you some pictures when it's done if you like.

Kirk

Very bitchen looking, Mr Executioner , sir.

May I be excused now?

George

So the kirk bumper uses the same holes as the big rubber bumper right. You don't have to fill in any of the holes do you?

Emery, it mounts using the same holes, and covers up the big hole where the big round mounting tube for the L bumper poked through the body.

Just remove the L bumper & install these, it can't get any easier.

Your friend on the DTBB, George

Hey Kirk, I would be interested in seeing the trailer, Mine is a single axle 38 cubic foot unit. It was the largest motorcycle trailer I could find and you would not believe how much stuff I can get in it. Last trip was a full size spare, tools, floor jack, 2 chairs, 2 suitcases oh and did I mention a 12' x 12' canopy because the show had us parked in the Florida sun for 8 hours..

Here is a picture of the back of the trailer. I used some group 4 tailights that I bought off ebay and that is a cutdown L fiberglass bumper.

I would be also be interested, in your design for a trailer hitch. I'll post one of mine.

Here is my bumper hitch that fits inside a fiberglass L bumper. The rectangular plate bolts on behind the license plate. I believe an original steel bumper could be easily modified to work. I have it designed that it could be removed by removing the 2 bolts that hold the "u" shaped tongue support and the 3 machine screws that hold on the plate.

Gary #06984

the pieces assembled....

I can only imagine the reaction of other drivers when they see your Pantera semi.

Cool!
