Turned great,especially if it is your first attempt.Looking at the grill area,makes me think there should be another bar across about half way up to better protect the grill area and would give you a spot to mount some off road lights

That turned out great! I like the plate bumpers better than tube. I really need to try my hand at this.

| I'd say flat black. I don't think a semi gloss paint would look good with the rig it's pictured on. Brand new bumper and well used body. |

It looks like the body is prepped for new paint. I say semi-gloss like the 1:1 Safari Gard bumper it seems to be patterned after. |

That looks really good for someones first bumper, even if it wasn't someones first it still looks good.

Nicely done. You may have been "the straw that broke the camel's back" so to speak, in my reluctance to braze. Guess I may have no choice in the matter, especially since I have a 1:6 Willys to do, and some custom work for my 1.9 rig as well. Oh boy, now to explain it to the wife. (She's still in that interested but not really phase.) |
