Damn this is a really good looking bumper. I make and sell my tube bumpers but ive been wanting to make a few aheet prototypes. Looks killer man its nice to see some skill used in a bumper build rather than all the scrap thats thrown together on here.

Saw that, was just wondering why you didn't drill them out before welding on the tabs. It's be a TON easier with a drill press than sitting there doing it with a drill. But, hey, that's just my thought line. It's a great looking bumper and it's yours, so make it how YOU want to. That's part of what fabbing something is all about - personalization.

Do you use the flux core or solid wire. I run .30 solid wire and with gas and it works great. I make a lot of neat little art stuff too. Its very versitile
