Awesome job! Is that stainless and are all bumpers going to be stainless?

PM sent on a bumper shell with no arms or spindles (I'd leave the holes though in case I needed them down the road).

Here are some fitment pics of the FLARELESS bumper on my cruiser. Keep in mind, that on a rig with no fender flares, it will sit level. My flares were keeping the front end of it pointing down a few degrees.
I already have a couple people on the waiting list for this one, but I'll let it go as pictured for... SOLD.
This shows it with the tail lamps only sitting in place:

Looks like you've had a busy weekend! What the four notches outside the Hella lights for? I didn't see them used in your renderings.

Those are actually tab cutouts for the internal spindle gussets that get added when the spindle is welded in. The gussets will completely box in the area around the spindles, and will weld directly to the spindles as well. This will make the entire assembly extremely strong, and will eliminate and flex/fatigue in the spindle.
I like to tab everything so that it all fits together like a puzzle, and everything self-aligns.

Whats up with the proto?

Nice! Are you machining the spindles, bearings, etc. or using a pre-existing solution?

Proto is sold, but if you're interested in a bumper, shoot me a PM.
The spindle is a pre-existing solution. It wouldn't be worth my time to re-invent that wheel since there are already excellent options out there.
The chosen spindle set is machined from chromoly steel, and is complete with sealed bearings. It's stout, to say the least.
Over the past 20 years I have used many different products including this one, they do work fairly well to remove a fillet weld....BUT on this detail I decided to just Leave the fillet welds as its all TIG welded and smooth.

Let me guess- you make medical carts or food prep surfaces for a living?
Nice welds, leave 'em be!
