    nice yea, i actually haven't even bought the bumper yet, will you ask him, if he'd be willing, so if I do, at least I'd have a sure option for a welder, and i don't need it done right away, sometime in the next month or so..ish, but it'd be nice to know, sooner the better, so i can get my shiet together

    yea you're right, :pout: i might have to pull outta this crazy bumper talk

    If the above offers don't work out for you, I've got a good friend here in Bradenton that owns his own boat tower building business and is one heck of a welder. All he works with is aluminum. I'm sure Jason could get you hooked up.

    thanks guys!!! I committed to buying the bumper, so gotta hear back from him, and have it shipped, most likely I'm going to go with team flatline's buddy because he's more or less local, but if that doesn't work out, I'll give you a shout michael! thanks for looking into it for me

    Did you ever get this bumper welded together? If so, do you have any pics of the final product?
