That's great! How did you bend the steel pieces into shape? Can we get some close-up shots? Are you doing steel rears as well?

I drive w/o plate for 2 days, one cop stoped me today and I showed him plate on dash....
He smiled and told me what this bamper for, to push cars out of road?
I wanna get new made of alluminium frame, drill holes and finally install plate on its place. Plate is bent a bit in last accident... Need some time to repare.

I bent ceitral part of bumper in mashine, side parts are made of 3 mm steel bent with heating and enforsed with bars inside.

High res. photos will be soon!

It looks too heavy in black primer, but should look good if you chrome plate it.

Looks like a Checker cab to me. Are you going into the taxi business?

Even if you were to put a chrome strip around the bumper (available at any auto shop) it'd make it look less "mad max"

I'm kind-of joking...it looks good as-is (love the "frenched in" foglights) but to get the law off your tail, maybe making it a little more "purty" might help.

Pablo-looks bada$$!~!!

Leave it alone. If I saw you approaching me in the rear view mirror I'd it have to romp on the food feed to get out of your way or hope and pray that I'm in my 4-whl drive so that I'd be able to jump the ditch and get outta your way.

RUN ITS PABLO FROM AERODOME. MAD "AERO"

Coming to a theatre near you.
