Bumper looks good. Any bracing on the inside?

 

It will be welded to the crossmember at the top. I didn't see a need to brace it other than a lip on the bottom as if someone rear ends me, they will be hitting my back window hahaha

 

The picture of you touching the ground is epic!
That bumper looks schweet! Matches the rockers shape & kinda looks like a roll pan they put on trucks! Awsome work bud, can't wait to see the troll rolling!

 

Looks great! Major props for originality. The first picture I saw of your Jeep (the one with the rear bumper you built) I thought to myself "WTF he just set his Jeep on the ground without axles". My next project will most likely be a late 80's early 90's regular cab short bed Chevy 1500 on bags hopefully with a 454.

 

Someone has mad skills

 

Thanks dude. But ya know, I am just a line cook

 

Just out of curiosity, does any company make these? I tried to find an aftermarket one without any luck.

 

soooooooo bad a$$

 

Can you do one with a reciever tied into the unibody and a heavier metal

 

You going to french the roll pan into the body?

 

I don't understand what you mean? Its flush with the gate and tails...

I was tired of crawling around on my garage floor doing little firewall peices and front end work...so I made a bomber seat

I made a fullsize cardboard replica, folded it and taped it and checked the fit.



I then flatened it and transferred it to sheet.



Then I cut it out.



And I bent, shaped, and formed it.



Its just tacked for now and I have yet to make the mounts which is when I will set the final lay back angle.

Before you ask...yes its uncomfortable. But it fits perfect, gives me lots of headroom and I think it looks aight.

 

I also made my footwell. I was worried about not fitting all 3 pedals, but I will get them all under the dash!!! Very stoked.

 

You got some sic metal skills man!! great work on the roll pan and seat!!!

 

Thanks man. That means a ton as I have never worked with sheetmetal before. I am just having fun, tryin stuff out

I am cursed for finding parts for this thing. I had a chance on a parts truck. I talked him down to $500 from $1000 on the phone. I didn't want to pay anywhere near that. I went to look at it with $300 in my pocket. I talked him down to $450 and then $400 but he wouldn't go to $300. We shook on $400, I went to get more money and when I came back 10 minutes later he went back on his word. I wasn't mad, it wasn't worth $400.

I am going to make a new door bottom and if it turns out nice I will just run with that for primer stage and the spring show season.

 

SICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
