got the sides back on now getting ready to mold them in. also started molding in the rear.

 

[Kooter]

looks like it will turn out good!

 

[eurocrisp]

Nice work! With the molding job just be eeeexxxxtttttrrrrraaaaa careful when yr out and about. Its a whole other story when you go try to park and there's curbs around. id hate to see you do .03mph into a curb and have a seam crack.

i've never understood why everybody molds their rear bumper to the quarter panel... if you back into something accidentally that ****'s gonna crack.

And what do you do when somebody goes too far into a parking spot in the parking lot and smacks the rear bumper?

Dont you just hate it
Usually in a parking lot I tend to park the Cougar maybe at least 2 or 3 spaces from the nearest car
Then later someone parks their car right up against mine

That reminds me of when i went up to Buffalo for a meet... while Iceotron and i were leaving Circuit City this guy in a truck with a snowplow on the front dropped it literally 1/2 inch from somebody's car.

 

[ZetecNinja]

sounds to me like they're doing their own body work sooooo...fix it!

thats what u'd do...

 

[Xeks]

yes we are doing the body work so fixing it wont cost us as much than if we were to send it to the shop but hopefully we wont need to worry about that.

 

[Salmonchow]

It really doesn't matter how well you seal it either...I know someone that molded his like that and one little speed bump cracked the paint...He did a really good job on it, too...It just doesn't take much to crack it...Just make sure you keep extra paint!!!

 

[Keliente]

Molded bumpers are the hotness, but not for daily drivers I'd be so afraid of cracking everything.

 

[StreetConcepts]

You can mold a rear bumper without worrying about driving it daily. I would not suggest molding a front bumper though.

On the rear if you glue it with panel bonding adhesive and then overlap the seam with fiberglass you get a super strong bond.

After the fiberglass is sanded I use a fiberglass based filler. I also reccomend having reinforcement braces installed at the bottom corners of the bumper to brace it to the body.

 

[SleepyKat]

Anyone ever think of putting a weld on it>? All you have to do is sand it down, weld a thick bead, sand down the excess and paint. Seems simple enough. But you probably need some good sanding tools. And a little skill.

 

[spacedog73]

welding is not an option.

The body is metal, and the bumpers are fiberglass or urethane.

They could weld the doors shut though.
Jump in thru the window. yeeehaw!!
