This is what it will hopefully look like when I'm done. The hood scoop will come later on.

Got the second bends done. Have to pick up more cutting blades then it's off the cut the shape. Then back to the metal surplus for some 1/2inch steel for the bracets for the winch and bumper bracets.

I had to google that to know what you were talking about. Just an unusual way to break the steal in my opinion. Granted most of my bumper experience has come from building it from sheet, rather than channel.

Well it makes bending it easy and it gives a good point to weld to on the top and bottom of the bumper
