mmmmm well if it dont hold up i will use herculiner.

It seems pretty tough. Also it took me about 2 hours of sanding/prep work, so hopefully that wont be for nothing.

The bends just match the body. I guess thats how you would say it...

Its what I used on the bronco body, I don't see why it won't hold up on a bumper.

if you put a K&N on top of the vent tube it will give the front axle more horsepower.

Paul had amazing results from putting a K&N on the intake side of his OBA. Im pretty sure it gave his compressor 3-4 more horsepower and another 1mpg.


did you ever finish my minions research project?
