I have not updated this in a while.
Before I left I pulled some all nighters and a few good 28 hour days couldn't pull together, building my spot welder, spot welding that 13 gauge expanded stainless to the inside of the bumper, fully welding all around everything and bead blasted it with glass beads.
The supporting frame is structurally complete, just needs finishing, crushed iron slag blast, primer, paint, asphalt coating and such and build all the stuff that's going inside and behind the bumper.
Now that I finished the hard part I can work on the really hard part.

Here are some pictures before things got time crunched.




I think I took some finished pictures but then I think I stuck the memory card in my game camera. I may have brought it with me, just need to dig through my bags.
