How do you make the front end tougher? and also what do you do with the rear end? Never built one before but have built a few caprices

leaf them inside the rails and suck it down flat as possible. hardnose a forgiving bumper. change bumpers and rear end.

^^^^ where you going to put the core support? There's a lot better options for bumper brackets that do the same thing as those.

I agree there are better choices for bumper brackets, but they were the right price. IMO the more beads of weld you can put down the stronger it will be, so I prefer to run mine on the outside.

Plus it mounts the bumper higher then the frame increasing leverage. |
