Tuesday, May 23

Once again, this past Tuesday I went to work on the car.  For the longest time, the front bumper has been attached to the nose and fenders by two large zipties and four random screws.  However, this crude mockup has been replaced by a more enduring solution.  The nose now has an aluminum mount with riveted threads in order to easily attach and detach the bumper (and every subsequent bumper in the event of accidents).  Six more riveted threads were added to the fenders, three on each side, which adds up to a total of 15 matching aluminum screws used to secure the bumper.

                   

                                    

It's amazing what just a couple screws can do for the structural integrity of a vehicle.  That bumper is solid!
