    I don't need to buy the steel, I get it for free if I use drop material. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze all the pieces except maybe the top piece on drop but it will probably take a while. You don't buy sheet steel in 3/16". Sheet steel is a gauge size, and economical sheet steel does not go up to 3/16" thick.

    I am probably going to end up ordering 4' square of 3/16" plate and use some for the front and rear bumpers and the rest for skids. About $125.

    Not a damn thing cause the big name company UCAs I bought obviously didn't go through QA. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until I had the frontend at full parade rest. And the place I bought them from isn't open until tomorrow. Lucky I have another car to drive.

    Built a new bumper this past weekend. I'm still trying to decide on a license plate mount and where I want to put it. Overall, very pleased with how it turned out

    I had a brutal one years ago and had no health insurance.

    I drank two glasses of scotch in a matter of 5 minutes then had a friend pull it out with tweezers.

    Even though I haven't pulled the trigger on one, it's well worth the wait.
