Hey guys, wow, it seems like forever since I last posted! Anyway, I have done up some drawings of what I would like to fab up for a front and a rear bumper. If anyone has some experiences they would like to share on this subject, it would be nice since I'm new to welding. Here are my questions:
01. What kind of material should I be working with when I start? I don't want it too heavy, but I want it to be very strong. And since I'm doing it myself, that kind of says I want to do it fairly cheap.
02. Design wise, can I let the imagination go, or should I be sticking to simple and 'easily' welded designs? When I did my sketches, I wasn't too crazy, but are there any shapes that I should avoid?
03. What kind of paint is good for bumpers? I'm going with a simple black, but I don't want it to crack or peel unless I hit/scrape something really hard. I'm sure someone has some experience with this!
04. Why are you laughing at me?
