90AWDSMs Late Night Project (Pictures and Video INSIDE)

So me and my dad were just sitting around in the garage and we said.... Hey lets make a Camera mount for the front bumper!

So we brainstormed some ideas and came up with this. O0

The camera Mount is sturdy as hell and worked a hell of a lot better then we expected.

Nice setup only I'd throw a plexiglass case around the front of it to prevent rocks from bouncing up or any debris. Otherwise you could get the go-pro HD video camera and it would be PERFECT for that mount. I wonder if my evo has holes in the front bumper like that...

WOW..there was no shaking or any excessive vibrations in the vid! Great job!! I would also suggest some sort of clear plastic cover or maybe a clear water tight case for it. Keep that camera safe and dry!

Great job!!

MATERIALS USED

- 6" Long Piping that'll fit inside the bumper cutout! (We used 2 different pins for our "PROTOTYPE" and welded them together but a 6" long pipe will be better being that it'll be one piece!

- 1 Washer welded with a bolt that fits the correct thread for the bolt hole inside the bumper

- Weld the Washer/bolt piece to the end of the piping and and WHALA! There you have it! LOL
