first cut

ready to bend

bent (adding material later)


Ran out of cutting wheels so I had to resort to welding

pics of welds, I know there are weld nazis everywhere. It's just a bumper, but I thought this was decent for being rusty. It was a 2nd pass since I didn't like the first one at all. Good penetration and heat. Burned 'em in at 60amps.



Cleaned up, need to add the lower part once I cut out the back of the bumper to fit over the frame. The sides are there to protect the sway bar and hopefully deflect the rig away from whatever I hit. I'm sure if the object is strong enough or I come down with enough force, it will bend or break, but it will do for now.
