I'm fabbing this up because I want it to match the rear that I just finished. Also, my stock chrome bumper was starting to get some rust creeping over from behind. I'm using the same 8lbs/ft 6" C-chanel that I used for the rear.
For the mounts I started with the stockers and went to town. Pics explain themselves. Two in shear one in tension just like the rear.
In this shot I just had the C sitting on the mounts. I quit for the day before I welded the C to the mounts. I'm still turning it over in my head how I'm going to make it follow the body. If I do it with cuts and welds I'll need at least 3 cuts per side. I'm thinking I might be able to notch and bend with acetylene but I don't know if I'll be able to bend it evenly because the steel is so thick.
