As many of you know, I am creating a Dick Smith number 198 tribute car. He had some weird bumpers that I need to have made. Anyone here that can make them?

I’ll hit up some local fab/machine shops but thought I would try here first.

Thx,

Henry

Henry:

Call George D. and ask if he remembers who made the ones for the one we raffled off.

Henry,
Check also with Mark D. I think he mentioned a source when we were talking at the Open House.

Thanks Jeff,

I called the guy that made the originals for Dick per Mark but unfortunately he passed away.

Nick Acton can probably fab up a set for you.

Well that's too bad. With a couple of photos and dimensions which I know we could extrapolate from pics my fabricator buddy could do them in stainless as were Dick's. Give me a ring if you'd like for me to get with him.
