Wondering if anyone out there has built one? Any tips? (Yes we have a sand blaster, arc and mig welders and necessary tools.) Also looking for detailed pictures of the backsides of bumpers. Specifically looking for pictures of how bumper mounts to frame. (but any bumper pics would be appreciated)or cardboard cut outs/patterns. We've just completed a cardboard cut out of our bumper and I will try and post pic..(slightly similar to SG)with no bars.   Brian Adams (Badams) New Member Username: Badams Post Number: 7 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 11:38 am:    Please see the tech section, there are several designs in there   Scott (Scott_bowden) Member Username: Scott_bowden Post Number: 67 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 07:33 pm:    take a look at my gallery   Nadim Samara (Discodino) Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 88 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:33 am:    I'll vouche for my bumper (typpical I guess). Its a no-nonesense design, and was extensively tested to the extreme limits. I'll gladely provide you with some drawings, and maybe some dimensions if they are still on the top of my mind. Check out my thread "New Bumper" posted ~15.07.2003 here...then tell me if you're interested   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Senior Member Username: Gregdavis Post Number: 963 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:37 pm:    Phil, I'd offer to help but I built my front bumper as I went, so I don't have any drawings, etc. Once you start, you'll see that it's not as hard as you would have imagined.
