ok lol as u may, remember i made a bumper out of a stop sign wel,l i decide i need one other thing, i cracked and scratch my batt box alot and i decide humm i need a skid plate, well i went to my job and cut me a bumper bend it to shape and buffed it out then today i went back to finish my job[>:] i used 1/8 rivets and just drilled out the holes it looks too good to scratch!!!!! i had alot of fun making this and there probably will be more to come[>:]
enjoy
the 1st two are of the bumper if u never got to see it and the rest are of my new skid

tell me what you think

nice job man. Who pays attention to stop signs anyways!

Whats the difference when a pot head comes up to a stop sign and when a drunk comes up to one?













A stoned driver will stop and wait for the sign to turn green, while a drunk driver just goes right thru it.

lol ya i didnt steal it i think he just found it but idk lol it took me the week but i was lazy to finish it up today lol

its called "borrowing"

ahh got ya lol i think i will repaint it after im done with it

Lol i would have had the stop sign facing downwards and show it off to peeps. Makes for a good story... like when i showed up for work 8 hrs late on friday lol.

lol ya it was fun geting the paint off[:@][:@][:'(][:'(] lol ended up useing a DA and taking the paint off and buffing it up and i buffed the rivets too

im probly going to make a new bumper cause my old one(one in pic) is weak now to so meany times i bent it back to its normal shape lol

i want to hear what u think post coments

Looks alright but the aluminum is corrosive cause you took the aclad protective layer off it....paint it or something to prevent that nasty aluminum corrosion

lol trust me it wont last long enough for it to even get corrosive and there is a light layer of compound i left on it but ya it wont last to long its going to get scratched and mauled
o lol and my bumper is the same sign and nutting is happing to it all for my bro hitting a wall and killing it but
its fine im not worried

true they do get tore up quick...your saving cash making your own and thats what counts

lol and its fun 2 i enjoy seeing it go from the metal shear to this i really think its fun from the sanding to the buffing to the shaping and the pop rivets were fun 2 the bumper i didnt make but i learned the skills to make what i made today im going to start my bumper project 2 soon its going to be just like the old one but like cleaned up its really weak now from the re bending it back and stuff its probably got like 2 more good hits till its to soft to work with but what i like is some times it falls off on a bad hit like was jumping and it nose dived and broke off but it saved my car and when i hit something it bends and falls or just bends but it really adsorbs the real bad stuff that the chaise shouldn't see and hay it takes like 3 hrs to make and i finished the other stuff already all i have to do is cut bend buff drill counter sink and i got a brand new bumper!!!! i will start on that tomoro after school its going to be fun

when u see stop sign 3 thats when its totaly done and im not going to give any sneak peaks this time

You mean oxidization

Skid looks good, now you should rig up some wheels to it and make it into a wheelie bar!

that rear skid plate is going to save your batt box... all that it is going to do is keep the box from getting scratched up becuse the plate should be attached to the chassis

you need to make one like the xxx-nt

lol exactly xxx-nt kid thats made it for. i broke my batt box before it so i used some ca to fix it then i finished it up and riveted it up
lol those bumpers look nice [8D][8D] i might do a fanned out like that u gave me a idea

ha ha i made a new bumper like the old one but nicer lol i will get pics tomor night all

but it still needs to be attached to the chassis not just to the batt box

no it dosnt lol its just a skid plate to help reinforce the batt box cause i dont want it blowing apart and me losing my power and crash it
