Newb, sorta
« on: July 18, 2016 - 01:25:16 AM »
Hello, new to the site but not mopars.  I own some A bodies, have owned B bodies, and restored a 73 challenger for a friend. I now make alumium bumper brackets for drag cars with fiberglass bumpers. I am getting into development of the e body brackets and need some stock brackets for fixtures. I figured this would be a good place to find them.

I have a pair of rear brackets from a (E-body) 1972 very heavy, I have fiberglass bumpers to install on my 73 and will gladly be your first customer.

Welcome to the site from  :canada: and that's an interesting name you're using. Any relation to the late, great Lingenfelter?  :wave:

@jimynick, the connection is seven generations back. I am related but they wouldn't know me if I walked in their shop.

@ Sid, I have a set of fixtures from a borrowed set of brackets. I have since returned the brackets and owe the owner a set of aluminum brackets once they are in production. If you are willing to part ways with you stock brackets you would be my second customer for a new set. I like to keep stock brackets on hand to check my fixtures from time to time.

Thanks for the kind words John, I have been meaning to touch base with you. I am making dynamic  strut rods for my Duster and need the aluminum cups that replace the rubber bushings. Is this something you could help me with?
