Oil Pan,
Thank you for the reply. I have been reading your thread and am anxious to see your pictures when you get it welded up.
I have not ruled out the idea of modifying an existing bumper. My idea for the complex shape of the bumper shown in the sketch and making it “push rated” was to start with a tube frame, and then skin it with “thin” 1/8” or so steel plate that could be torch bent into the right shape and then welded on. Yes, it will still be 200lbs or so.
I would really like to use steel (as I am not set up to weld aluminum) so maybe I can find a steel semi bumper. I could add reinforcement to the back if necessary.
