Bumperettes
Getting ready to try and make some bumperettes on my own. I was hoping someone out there who has some already could post the basic measurements. I will post pics of me making them.

Re: Bumperettes
Finished mounting my home made bumperettes today, I think they came out pretty good. Made a mold out of wood, played fiberglass, drilled holes in the shocks and compressed them all the way in. Finally attached the shock's to the fiberglass bumperettes, a little sanding and paint. I will post some pics tomorrow.

Re: Bumperettes
There used to be a guy on eBay Germany who made his own bumperettes and than started selling sets.

Re: Bumperettes
I might be willing to make a few sets, but I just found out today I will be on a special assignment out of town for my work. This means no Fiat work for 90 days. 
The turn signals are the stock ones from the bumper, they are frenched in.

Re: Bumperettes
I installed a set of bumperettes from that i bought from that guy in Germany.
They look a lot like the ones that you made. Nice work.!
The lights i used are from a 1997 mercury sable and have been inverted and flipped left to right side.

Re: Bumperettes
I like those. Did you by any chance take pics while you were making them? I would be interested to see a how-to type guide. Have a '74 and the bumperettes seem longer than that, but would give me a good starting point. Haven't found them for sale anywhere yet, and the right front one is broken off.
