i cant build any farther down with the card board on the truck so this is where the steel will begin.

tommorrow i'll be getting the steel and will start drawing it out on the sheet. also depending on how this one goes me and my buddy are going to start building and selling them, hopefully for a lot less than road armor and other companies.

Nice bumper! But that's an even better man cave! A friend of mine has the best man cave I've seen so far. It's bigger than his house and has a party area and a full garage in the other area. Sick... just sick!
