Re: Side bars and Front bumper...
G-man, making my own front bumper is somthing I've been giving serious thought to.
How did you start, do you have a design, or do you make it up as you go along? Are you doing all the fabrication yourself? What material are you using?

Re: Side bars and Front bumper...
Make a cup of coffee, sit down draw some pictures... and more! Start cutting some hardboard up, tape it together and then some changes. If im happy i start cutting up some metal plate! Some welding,grinding,bending and some 'hammer' work, then off to the coaters and Bob's your aunty. Almost that easy
