Guess we will find out at MIR if Jon makes it. Maybe you should jump in the heavyweight class with us?

I thought we’ve been talking the November race this whole time 🤣

Mock up is complete. Time for the final version. Yes this kit will be for sale.

Looking good. Will it come out under the tag?

 

[Jonjonday]

Looks nice! If you can, would you weigh the stock piece you’re replacing so we know what the difference is?

Made mine. Sandwiched bumper between plates.

 

[fumanchu182]

How many psi are you pushing and or how much spray?

No the most very bottom spot of the plate.

 

[Jonjonday]

19 to 22 psi depends on DA, the colder the better!!! No nos

Nice!

That looks like a GREAT design, light weight, easy to install. You make it or is someone selling them? If not they should be!!

I did the same thing. I don’t have a picture of it with the bumper cover off but mine comes out under the plate. I’ve deployed the thing at near 180 so it works. I’m just wondering how much weight difference there is. That stock extruded impact bumper is pretty stout.

Made it, others have also. They are all a little different, but same plate sandwich style. Need to patent it

Great minds think alike! Ok I got my design from Marc. I will have to share the patent...

Nice!

Bolt on Jons will be behind the bumper to take the chute off so the plate will hide the hole.

Tim that is making it does mustang bumpers. I had a chute mount on my 87 mustang back in the mid 2000's. I told him there may be a market for a tubular front bumper for our cars. It won't be as light as the aluminum ones out there but it will be steel. I'm think somewhere around 12 lbs saving. One of the reason to use them on the mustangs was when you take the inner bumper out the fascia can collapse at speed going down the track.

I'm the same, how come I don't run 8's wtf... what weight are you? I'm a full shit, don't pull a damn thing out of the car.

Some thoughts on replacing the bumpers…. Some may remember that my blue car had a mishap at the Houston event last year. Got into the wall nose first. Had that steel impact bumper not been there, the hit could have been much worse. As it turned out… the engine and trans did not suffer any damage. If that impact had gotten back into the motor 😳

4390 lbs only stock drivers seat in. Also harness bar with 5 point belts and 8 gallon ice tank. Drop in rods and pistons. Years of tuning, dialing it in. 4500 + with Michelle driving. Take some stuff out!!
