bumper work continues2/27/2019 Some scrap 2½" box tube: Laying it out: ...and here we go! full welded and ground on the face, plus fully welded on the back side as well. I started welding and grinding the seam as well, but theres still a lot more left to do! Rear Bumper Part 3: taking shape!2/26/2019 Both corners are done now: As you can see, i still have a sh*tload of welding/grinding to do! Im hoping to get out there today for an hour or two, i want to start working on the receiver hitch. So hopefully more updates this week! rear bumper progress2/21/2019 Stupid weather delayed me a bit, but ive still managed to get some progress made on the rear bumper. Tapered the corners: Added another 3" on the bottom, doesnt look like it but the corners taper to 2" Mock-up on bronco 2x2 box tube, to protect quarter panel: Mocking up the whole corner: Hopefully tomorrow i can make that small piece for the corner, and then start duplicating everything for the other side. Oh noes2/12/2019 Ok, update time. Started on the doors: Door #2: This is where my inexperience with sheetmetal repair shows. I took my time, but both doors sunk when i welded them. Cant have any filler since the mirror bolts up here, it would just crack. Its gotta be fixed, but im not sure how. Thus far ive only made it worse, which is disappointing. In my frustration, i decided to abandon the doors for now and start designing a rear bumper.
