I hope to be able to get it into our paint shop soon.

Gotcha. Got a little more done today. I need to add the rest of the plate for the shackle mount for added strength. Then I am going to steal the wife's car one day, yank the bumper and take it to work and finish weld everything. Then if I can swing it I'll blast it then have it coated through my work. If the wife allows the budget for it.

I wouldn't have a problem making one, but shipping it could be expensive. Thanks everyone I am quite happy with how it is coming together. I just hope I get it back before xmas for my present to myself.

Checked out the paint shop on my break and they had a surprise. A day and a half later here she is
Quite happy with the finished product. Powder coat is perfect too.

Looks great. The only thing I'd want to change is the thickness of your tow hook tabs. I'd highly suggest against any side pulls with what you have now.

Yea that was one concern. But I don't plan on going anywhere I would need to be pulled from and 3/8ths will be plenty for light towing.
