If you can get away with running a plate welded to the frame and the bumper, then the officials are really lax in Mott. In most shows I go bumpers and brackets are the second thing the inspectors look at, right after the safety stuff like seat belts and fuel tank. No added metal in the rules usually means that they will find your homemade bracket. Theres no preran mopars around you to find a shock can? I would really scrounge for one. How bad is the original one? You can cut it up and weld it all back together.

no there isnt any old preran mopars, the ones there is are missing bumpers or dont have shocks at all on them,,,, and my can itself is fine its just the plate that bolts to the frame taht is messed up, ill cut taht off and weld that to the can then and see how that works, cuz idk if my hardnosing idea would pass or not,,,, but then again a car with a welded frame ran last year and they never caught taht

well guys thanks for the help but i no longer need it as i got the plate that goes around the can and bolts to the frame in the front straighter, its straight enough that i managed to get a bolt thru it and the plate is close enough to the frame that ill be able to weld it,,,, so thanks for the help but im just using the shocks again
