That is so sweet! I'm jealous! I love cold Wintery days working in the garage. It looks like you've made some good progress. What's the status?

Slow and steady on the bronco. Doing a bunch of little work not worth showing...
Also been busy working on a winch bumper for the chasetruck.

Re: Nothing special class3 pics
That one is a mix of .250, .188, and .125. I won't build one like that again, next one will be all .188 thick. I am really happy with the way it is turning out. It is designed to use a Warn 16.5 Ti winch. If people are interested I can make a build thread for it.

Re: Nothing special class3 pics
Sure - make a build thread. As I said I will be making some bumpers like this in the future so I like seeing what others have done.
Did you design it on solidworks or similar or old school style with cardboard templates? While I would love to do mine in soliworks so I can send it out for bending my student edition of soliworks expired before I even really figured out the program so I will be using the cardboard method...

Solidworks off of Ford chassis files....Cardboard works just as well, just easier to design at the computer on lunch!

Re: Nothing special class3 pics
Figured as much.
If I had solidworks I'd be practicing on it since I don't know it well at all. Plus I sit here at the computer all day and could mix/sneak it in with work - haha.

Eric,
I totally dig that zombie killer bumper. Way cool.
By the way, any headway on the aluminum half top for the race bronco?

Re: Nothing special class3 pics
Pulled the glass out and started drawing the top based off the glass and the measurements off the truck. Nothing yet but drawings on a computer. Hopefully with in the next month or two I'll get around to cutting it out and begin putting it together.
Thanks for the bumper comments.

Re: Nothing special class3 pics
Agreed! Tires out the back look way cool and probably nice to have some weight back there too. Still going to run Class 3 Eric?ChaseTruck754 wrote:Sexy!
