Uploaded my first video of the Jeep the other day. I plan to upload update videos as the truck comes together. Hope to get video of the derby itself too. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZT0hU69lhU

I'm curious to see if the rear of this thing will plow or not. Are you going to be notching it?

No on the notching, the rust has already done enough that it should bend where I want it to. I welded the tailgate on and creased the rear fenders. Working on uploading a new video I filmed yesterday. Just finished the suspension and fuel system today. Its looking pretty mean, hopefully it works out. Mainly running it for my sponsor, but I really am curious to see how I did as far as building this thing.

Thanks etown! Finally found a good bumper at a scrap yard and only had to pay $8 for a 40 pound bumper, should hold up great. Believe it came off a mid 80's ford, but honestly couldn't identify. Got it tack welded on the Jeep and plan to get video of it done tomorrow.

80s Ford front bumpers are good bumpers to use! Thats all I have used for any of my cars.

watched your current vid and that bumper dont look like an 80s ford front could be a rear ford though of a late 80s crown vic
