Looking at it how hard would be to make something similar?

Looking at the one I got from cbolt, I'm pretty sure I can make a brace for that side.

Cleaned up what I have and painted them. Figured out what I need for bolts and visited my local Ace store. I should get it mounted tomorrow.

Much thanks to Jim (cbolt) for offering the parts!

 

First step was finding a piece of tubing to use. Never throw anything potentially reusable away! This was a mount from a solar panel, had just the right bend!

Next step was to turn on my dyslexia to create a mirror image. 🤔  After an hour or so with judicious use of a BFH, here's the resulting test fit.🔨

And mounted on the Monte!

Thanks to all for the advice, and an extra thankyou to Jim (cbolt) for his generosity!  👍

Perfect,  I do remember mine when I had my bumper off and figured it wouldn't be that bad. Great job now we know.  I actually didn't paint mine when they were off, they barely had surface rust on them.

Wow that turned out awesome. Well done.

Looks great Bob! We need to meet up somewhere for a cruise in or something. Hey, are you planning on attending the Turkey Run this year?

 

I am sure there are car shows and cruise ins and whatnot in the Deland/Deltona areas which is roughly halfway between us and a not so bad drive.

Thanks Jim!

Not planning on Daytona, but there are some regular shows on Deland. I'll keep an eye on what's listed and get in touch!

I've got to make the time do do a build thread .....

Maybe. Let me check. What the heck is the dude on Facebook meaning that 70 is different?

70s have different side braces.
