vedday nice! High-5. I need to come down and check it out. Whats the word on his motor?

What's with the plating and bolts on the back side of the rear bumper? Are you going to bolt it on? I'm in the process of making very similar bumpers out of the same stuff. Really thick rectangular tubing.

yes, takes a while to get it all lined up and correct, then gotta pull it all out and weld it all up, hoping that it all the tacks hold in the pullout... then hope that in welding it all up, it didn't tweak from the heat... ugh.

Yes a lot of work, but very rewarding with how they turned out.

I will call you tomorrow Rob about cutter my rocker plates... i have my needed measurments.
