Looks great. !! But your bumper is upside down. The brackets go on the bottom of the frame.

Looking good there in Gleason. You are just down the road from me. We sometimes go to Ma's Place. Z's Forked Horners is another spot we visit sometimes--They make their Old Fashions with maple syrup.

Meeting up would be good. Maybe Z's on a Tuesday or any morning at Ma's place for breakfast. I'm retired and can make time for this sort of thing. Shoot me a private message with some dates and times.
