Custom Bumper Project

[Marlin]

In the past I did a lot of things like this. My mom always told me when I was a kid, "Haste Makes Waste". And I believe she was right. Sure, we all get impatient from time to time, and mess up somehow and have to re-do it. But I guess for me, its the scale. When doing something of this magnitude, I try that much harder to have a solid design and execution plan. As with most good projects, the longest and most important stage is the planning stage.

I agree with you 10000%, but again, its just not me. As for scale, you make it sound like I cut my VX to pieces, I didn't really do anything to my VX, just something that is bolted on to it, no welding on the frame, no new holes...not that I haven't put enough in her already.

Maybe just go ahead and put your front cladding back on and we can all just forget this ever happened and move on.

Not a chance, that is one of the reasons I sold the cladding, to prevent me from having the option to quit and give up. Now I have no choice but to make it work. I am concerned about cosmetics a bit, and it will improve, as I get better at metal working. I will say metal working is much more difficult than woodworking, but a lot more gratifying...

Good for you, dude! Like I said before, rock on! I'm a huge proponent of individuality and it's obvious you are too! So my hat is off to you, good sir!
