The cut & folded rear quarter panels can look pretty good with the right bumper. Here's a really good build thread. There are also some good ideas for a nice rear bumper in this thread too.

Ended up changing some of the bumper design while in mid-fabrication lol. I decided to eliminate the bottom corner bar to improve approach angles and whatnot. Instead I made a bar going on an angle from the bottom center bar to the top corner bar. It's lookin Alot better then the other design and it will be a whole lot more functional ! I'll post pictures when it's all tacked in.

Did about 4 hours of welding on the bumper this afternoon, still a couple more hours to go though. She's shaping up quite well ! Here's some pics of the new design. Let me know what you think.
