Driving light install in front bumper
I would like to install some driving lights behind the front bumper of my 2005 Super Duty, I was going to drill two 5" holes and than weld in some 5" pipe from the behind the bumper and attach some 5" KC driving lights to it.
would a hole saw work for this or is a bumper to thick? I was looking at DeWalt or Lenox hole saws their bi-metal. I know that I have to drill slow and I was going to use cutting fluid. I could use my drill press but I think I would have to figure how to clamp a bumper to the table.
Than im going to grind/sand the chrome off and paint it black. I will be taking the bumper off doing all of this.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

Thanks for the link...Ya Snowseeker did a GREAT job on that front end build..
Well now I dont know what to do because everyone is telling me that I cant just sand/grind the chrome off the bumper, they said that I need to have it sent out for a acid bath. Also that sandblasting would not work too.
Has anyone taken the chrome off a bumper and paint it without problems?
Thanks....Gage
