Definitely for a front bumper (since it will be mine! ). I know Jim had a couple projects ahead of this, so he will post up as he goes.
Should be very cool and a bit different than anything else available. (that IS the beauty of custom fab!). Can't wait to see it come together.
Though that is one helluva rear bumper! nice work!!

Only thing I'd do different is have plate steel quarter protection, but that's just personal taste for me. The steel tubing is probably still stronger...

here's an update for y'all
my camera was stolen in the last two days from out front of my house.
we never had to lock anything up in the last six years.....guess it's time to start.
so if i can swing it, i'll be trying to replace my camera in the next few days.
