Factory Lightweight?

Although my uncle once owned an awesome Boss 429 Mustang, as a rule I don't seek out muscle cars. However, The "factory lightweights" produced by ford, and others have always intrigued me.

But alas, the choice to make aluminum Bumper "irons" for my Recycled wagon project is strictly financial. Stock 40 steel bumper irons are bringing good money on "the bay" , and this aluminum was part of a machine that my neighbor had in the garage.

For those concerned with safety, never fear, these aluminum copies will not save my front sheet metal any more than the stock steel ones!
