Does anyone have any pics of a 53 ford custom line (car) not truck without a front bumper. My uncle runs his 57 without a bumper and it looks awesome. I wonder how mine would look. But if I can see a pic before I break bolts it would be nice. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.

Oooooooo. I like that a lot. I don’t think it would look good on a street car tho Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Back in the 60's it was common to take the front bumper off, I removed the front bumper from my '54 Ford and never put it back on. It was seen a lot more on the '55-56 Chevy's. If you decide to run a front bumper make sure it's for a '52/ '53 the '54 Ford front bumper is shaped different and will not line up with your front splash apron. HRP
I already have the front bumper. It’s on the car. I just wanted to know what it looks like before I take it off and break the mounting bolts Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Soak the bolts with penetrant for a few days . that will give you time to think about it. Take the bumper off if you are going for the street gasser look. Build a nerf bar if you are worried about bumping into something.
paint up your bumper brackets and reinstall em with fresh bumper bolts and bolt your license plate to one, looks clean, its how i ran my 54 for a long time
