Default My first fab attempt - Front Bumper
Ive seen a lot of front bumpers out there I like but ran into some luck when my brother gave me his Miller Mig welder and my neighbor gave me 2ea 4x8 sheets of 1/4" steel. All I had to do was figure out my design. I sprayed it with Raptor Liner, same as grill.
Update: Raptor liner continues to look like new. I love that stuff.
