i think that tucking the bumbers is a great idea when i first got my gremmy i noticed that the bumbers are basicly gaint chrome plates and would act like a snow blow if the car was lowered enough. which is why i completley shaverd them off. not only does it look better it also makes the car lighter.one of my first ideas was to take the front and rear bumpers off of a latemodel corvair which only need to be narrowed about 1-2 inches to fit right. justin --- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, AMC74HORNET@xxxx wrote: > A week or so ago we discussed tucking in them 5 mph bumpers after > looking at the pic's of the yellow Hornet Eddie posted.
