I got to work on the rear bumper today. I only had about an hour, so I cleaned up my "scrap" piece of 2x4x.125" tubing. Cost about 6 bucks at the local scrap yard. Woo-Hoo!

Most of my time was consumed by laying out where I wanted to place my rear tail lights and clearing the frame rails without any clearance issues. Pretty basic but it takes time to do it right.

Here are the two lousy pics from today's happenings...

Pic 1: This is my gut and feet, you might catch the bumper at the top of the picture

Pic 2: You can see here how I lay things out for cutting and drilling... mucho exciting I am sure...

Can anyone guess what kind of tail lights I am using?
