I built one to in high school out of tube and flat stock instead of Drings I welded on loops and a trailer hitch and 4 bolts through the frame

 

gotta love making your own stuff. total cost for my bumper was about $100 which is pretty good. here are some pics of it finished after i mounted it in the sunlight.

 

Great job!! I bet that your dad is as proud of you as you are of the work you have done. Keep up the good work.

 

thanks! yeah i think it turned out great beat my expectations.

 

Looks awesome man... just a little tip for next time you bedline over something.... rough up the paint real good with a course grain sand paper... and then wipe it down real good with acetone... that will help the bedline react to and bond with the painted surface.

actually i did that, i roughed up the whole thing with 120 grit sandpaper, then wiped it off with a damp rag, then acetone.

 

Weird... that should have made it coat just fine.

yeah i think it was due to my lack of patience and me painting in cold weather ahha

 

Yeah, cold weather's not painting weather, lol
