Solid Aluminium Front Bumper

[PaulNZ]

Hi All

need some opinions

I have designed a couple of simple bumpers for my Freightliner Logger and I want to know which one to use.

These are both very similar to the plastic one in the kit but that's what a Logger generally uses, It will be 6mm solid Aluminium, polished of coarse, I will also add the rubber mudflaps and Spot lights.
Option A:
with number plate below the main section in the middle





Option B:
with the number plate screwed to the middle of the main section(not shown)

"B" for me...

"B" it is

to be honest it will be easier anyway and look more like a working truck.

Here is the bumper half way through its cut




three hors gone, about another two to go..........

Here is my bumper, cleaned up and ready to be polished, there are a few marks that I hope will sand out prior to polishing



Sitting next to the plastic Kit one, it is already twice as good without even being polished, very happy with the result, should look ok on the truck..........I hope

Looks good and much better than the plastic one.... even with the scratches in it..

Excellent, I wish I had a router like that. Whom am I kidding? I barely know how to use my table top mill.

Thanks guys, will get the mops out today and have a go at polishing it

Finished product, next time you see it, it will be on the truck
