I made a parametric program to cut parts on the cnc so I can cheaply play with some bumper ideas out of 1/4 panel material, before having somebody weld something up for me.
Round 1:
-Way too tall. It's currently 6" tall I'm thinking 5" might be too tall as well.
-I think the ends need to swept up on the bottom edge at the ends. Make that go up 1" or so.
-I dig the kink in the middle. That's currently 45 degrees, I think it could be softened a bit, to more like 30 degrees.
-I like the idea of adding a small prerunner bar to the top as well. Not huge though.
It needs to slide back probably another 2" It's just sitting on the orginal bumper at the moment.
The plan is to add a couple of spots to mount shackles. Also add some small square flood lights recessed flush with the face.
I wouldn't call it a total fail, but it's not a winner yet. Thoughts?
