I have a few cut off wheels but I can't really do much with these 5 stitches in my hand haha. I planned on shorting up the bumper but my help never showed up.

It's not done yet. I still have to finish welding the brackets. The end pieces I cut off will be trimmed up and welded back on. Then I'm going to weld the shackle brackets back on.
