box bumpers

Though I've been reading this forum for years, this is the first time posting anything and I'm hoping you can help. After seeing the application here several years ago, I decided to go with modified 1968 Camaro bumpers. The modifications are fairly easy and I really like the clean look compared...

I recently posted a super-easy way to tuck your rear Big Ugly Bumper ("BUB") closer to the car. I foolishly thought the front would be similarly easy, but it's a little more complicated. I'll post the process for anyone thinking of doing something along these lines. At the outset, I should...

This thread will give us a place to gather up the various ideas and techniques for collapsing bumper shocks to bring the bumpers closer to the body. Add in any links or instructions that you know of. Thanks.

Has anyone done a bumper conversion using a single bar from a ‘76-‘78? If so, did you use the top or bottom bars to do it? Also, what else is required, do you need brackets, bumper shocks from a certain year? Also, if anyone has pictures of their car with this done, I’d love to see it. I’ve...

I know many of you have done this mod but I can’t seem to find a write up anywhere on the forum. A few questions: 1. Can I reuse the turn signals from my ‘81 2. Is there enough room in the head light pocket to accommodate the 81 turn signal? 3. Id like to use an LED light and lense set up but...

Hi all, I have a '81 north american X1/9 with that kind of bumpers; I'd like to get Midwest Bayless' bumper set, but I have some questions about that set : Will I loose the front grill (that protects the radiator) and the front air dam ? They seem to be integral parts of the bumper. Will I...

That small block piece at the ends of each side of rear bumper.. One of mine got pushed off but not any damage luckily looks like they can slide back on. I made an attempt but was unable to pop back on. Has anyone had any experiance? Do you have to pull bumper off to fix? I got an 87. Thanks for...

Hi All, It's been a while.....haven't had much time to work on the car (or to keep up with the board too much), but I finally started my bumper mod. While I like the bumperless look and DEFINITELY prefer it to the '76 ladder bumpers, it always looked unfinished to me. I love the 74 bumpers...

Yes they are finally available. These special brackets are for mounting 73-78 euro spec. bumpers on later model ('79 up) X1/9s. A simple bolt on solution. No cutting - no welding - no drilling. They simply bolt on in minutes. I think they should also work on 75-78 U.S. spec. models...
