Default Flip up bumper?

Hi all.

Hope this is the correct section.

I'm currently building a Peterbilt(ish) truck from a KH and want to fit a flip up bumper. I've come across a few builds on here that have done it but non of them go into much detail of how they actually made the bumper flip. So if anyone could point me in the direction of somewhere that shows how to do it I would be very happy

Thanks in advance

Goto the lhs and pick up dubro aeroplane hinge
and some plastic strip also the small brass nuts and bolts. One strip will get bolted to the stock bumper
spot. Same for the bumper then you need to mark where the hinge will fit between the two strips. Then nut and bolt together
