I finally got around to fabbing some bumpers for my trusty ole 99 Suburban. Started with cardboard and figured out the mounting plates. I cut them from 1/4" and put some slots in them for adjusting the final piece. Next I moved on to the main shell...cut from 3/16". I wanted to form it on a press but, I couldn't get any shops to mess with it...so I stick-built it myself. First I transferred the cardboard to steel and cut out each plate with the plasma. Then I welded it up and ground the seams smooth. Lastly, I frenched a recess into it for the license plate. I'm also going to add some military shackle mounts to it...
The front bumper is another story. More on that later.
