Looking good. I should have gel coated my own... I paid a guy to "strip the paint" and "gel coat;" it looked all pebbly like a basket ball when I got it back. When I poked around at it, I found it flaked of in big sheets; not only did he not remove the paint, he didn't even hit it with 80-grit. I had to grind it all off and start over... cost me several thousand dollars. Some people and their "businesses." I pulled the cover off mine today and took a look. I'm buried three-deep in other projects that are almost done, and can't spread myself any thinner until I sell one or more of them. Keep up the good work! Bro' FF

I'm SOOOO glad you aren't responsible for those bolt welds! Needs caged nuts welded on the back for the ends, and maybe a stud/bolt for the center to make things easier. Those bolts won't work properly as-is without slotting the front end somewhat. Glad you got the bumper. Bro' FF
