Project "Big Country" - Front Bumper Fab

[SC74]

Time for an update!!!

The past couple weekends has been a lot of filling holes and grinding them smooth. I went ahead and welded the wheel wells on the bottom side of the angle iron that we put in along the inside bottom of the rear fender wells. It needed it, plus we were able to grind it down to give it a smooth radius lip there and clean it up a lot.

The first pic shows how we altered the rear support channel. The tire is still rear of the center of the wheel well and I need all the room I can get in the back of the well. The front will have plenty of room - in fact it may look weird with so much room up front. We had to get rid of any sharp edges that may rub the tires so we bought a little room and smoothed it out by modifying the channel.

The rest of the pics are the rock sliders - 2x4x.188 wall. We used a 3/4x3/4 square stock to make it even with the existing body molding. The lip from the door opening comes over it about 1/2 inch and should blend in well after some liner is on it. The front corner is dobbed to allow room for the front fender to bolt on.
