No I appreciate input. I had thought of filling that exactly like you depicted and maybe cutting a design or pattern into it.

Looks great...how glad are you that you got that bender now, LOL

Pretty good feeling when someone asks "who made that bumper?", and you respond with "I did"...

Great job on the bumper. I am going to build one too. I bought the materials a few weeks ago and just now ran across your thread.

I just have to figure out how I am going to bend my tubing.
