Title: rear bumper
Post by: 54-27329 on November 06, 2023, 02:43:00 PM

1954 CJ-3B.  4 months waiting for body shop.  Got tired of waiting and put new body on chassis.  First question: the right side of the rear bumper stops at the corner seam and doesn't go to the body edge.  Is this correct?  More questions to come later.

The rear frame crossmember is offset.  The best explanation I've read for this is to allow the license plate to be under the taillight for illumination.
