Next step here will be welding the bumper solid. Then a bunch of grinding to clean it up before I start working on all of Don's extras.
Sure looks good for having a woops!! Would love to have some of your work on our 74.... maybe later this year.
Brian don’t throw that design away. May have to get that design for my LB7Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
so let me ask this question.would it make things easier if you made some sort of a moveable jig?for example: start with your frame mounts and move upwards and outwards from there.....to help keep the straightness and to prevent shrinkage?
Nate, what he’s saying ^^^^^ is it’s not your pecker and shrinkage isn’t an issue!

The angle will be cut into that piece.
I'm hoping this is not DOTing too badly, but I've had bumpers with and with out the tubes/brush guards. I've debated whether they are really functional. If running into a branch it only delays the impact to the fender as it bounces off the guard. if you hit someone or something really hard it might reduce the amount of damage to the sheet metal but it's going to bend up. Add to that the difficulty in cleaning the front of the vehichle from the tubes (and is some cases expanded metal grates) in front.Wondering what the builder has to say about the usefulness of the tubes?
It certainly will help with pedestrians at the mall Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’m thinking hitting a deer might be the only useful purpose for the tubing....
