There was a friend of mine that raced a 1958 Olds with the 371 tripower engine. After removing as much weight as he could he was too light so he sectioned a second rear bumper, put it inside the stock rear bumper and welded them into a sandwich, ground everything flush and had it rechromed. It took 4 of us to lift it into place.
Last I heard the car was in a junkyard in Burlington, NJ.
