Thanks Bryan, I've got a couple of them stashed away.Pretty sure I’ve got a old front bumper you can have to copy off if you need one

I may start on a 63 front bumper next(next meaning after a few air cleaners and the quarter panels are on the 62)(and my JD 4310 is back together) . 62's?, maybe after that and a bunch more projects. So, at the rate I'm going, could be before I retire.
That's interesting about the aluminum brackets being unsafe. The whole aluminum bumper would really be unsafe. I would think the aluminum brackets would hold up better than the rest of the bumper would. Of course the whole assembly wouldn't handle much of an impact.The original Z-11's had aluminum bumpers AND brackets. At some point NHRA declared the aluminium braces were unsafe and had them replaced with steel brackets.
Right Pat??????
So far so good with the Everlast. I have only played around with different frequencies. I prefer around 60-90 Hertz. I haven't had time to mess around with pulse yet. The only thing I didn't care for was the #26 torch, it is a little on the heavy and bulky side. So I picked up a #17 CK flex torch which I really like. This will work for everything I need to weld.So Jim, are you liking the Everlast?? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thank you. I don't know much about 3d printing. Not sure if it would hold up to the hammering or if you could print pieces as large as bumper sections.Are you sure you don't work for NASA engineering. Really a great bumper. Got an idea.....is there a way to incorporate 3-D printing in laying out each piece of the bumper, then hammer the aluminum over it and assemble the end result. Just throwing it out there....nice job.
