Front bumper will be as flush as possible but still have room for a winch and will wrap around to roll evenly matching into the front flares.

Mine's not any neater till its on the road. Gotta get finished before I get too excited. And I always remember that people get ideas just like we have from what others have done and then go one step beyond. That's the great thing about custom builds, get ideas from others and add them to your own. Keeps things new and exciting. Right now others are driving theirs and I'm looking at mine so I'm jealous. LOL. There are shows coming up and I want to be able to show mine.

Thank you buddy! It's a slow process, but I can't wait to get it finished and be able to show it off locally and on here. Just takes time. lots of things going on and I work office hours (8:00-4:30) which is the same time the scrap yard here is open, so getting metal isn't easy. LOL!

I hear ya, man. The only good yards around here are open 8-5 and not on Saturdays. WTF right?

Loving the build so far. You've got a lot of talent and as another guy that sits in an office 9-5, I can appreciate the work you're putting into this mythical beast.

Ah I appreciate it but my Bro-N-Law is the master behind this project. I am just the grunt. Couldn't do it without him.

I hear that. Always happy to hear when people get along well with in-laws of any sort too. My roommate's GF is a certified welder, he's an Air Force crew chief (F16 mechanic) and I have small engines and heavy duty machinery training. Our garage is a hoppin' place to be

I've been checking this thread daily for updates, keep keeping us on the edge of our seats.
