2x2 pieces welded to the frame. Now the bumper bracket can easily slide in and out by removing the bolts and sliding it out.

Jesse49chevy · 03-15-2020, 05:09 PM

I wasn't sure how far I would set the bumper so I left this section a bit long so I could trim once I decided where the bumper would live.

Jesse49chevy · 03-15-2020, 05:14 PM

I took a piece of 2" flat bar 1/4" thick rolled it to match the shape of the bumper, drilled holes so I could attach it to the back of the bumper and use it to weld the 1 1/2" frame. This way the bumper can be removed or replaced.

Jesse49chevy · 03-15-2020, 05:19 PM

Decided to set the bumper at 2 1/4" (ends) off the fenders, trimmed and finished welding the bumper bracket.

Done... I ordered a new chrome bumper... But I'm digging this rusty, patina look...

**8man** · 03-15-2020, 05:44 PM

Now that's solid! Good job.

Jesse49chevy · 03-15-2020, 05:56 PM

Thanks 8man... One day I'll get it on the road...

Yea.. Guess the setup weighs about 20lbs... Will help keep the front wheels on the ground... Lol...

Great idea on the bumper mount! I think I may copy that!

Thanks, I guess you can use 1" square tubing to cut back on weight. Let me know how it turns out.

Thank you.... Slowly but surely getting it done...

Jesse49chevy · 03-22-2020, 09:36 PM

Took the front clip off, finished welding the inner fenders, cleaned them up some and getting them ready for primer.
My wife took a ninja shot of me....

Jesse49chevy · 03-23-2020, 07:46 PM

Due to the Coronavirus my employer grounded us and cancelled all of our travel. So I decided to take the week off and work on the truck. I sandblasted the inner fenders and several pieces from the front clip.

Jesse49chevy · 03-23-2020, 07:47 PM

Jesse49chevy · 03-23-2020, 07:49 PM

Figured I spray them with primer.... Man I didn't know what to expect from this Eastwood stuff... Have to admit, I like it... Good stuff..

Jesse49chevy · 03-23-2020, 07:51 PM

Feels good to see some results... Soon baby! Soon......

dsraven · 03-24-2020, 12:34 AM

If you have a compressor why not get a gravity help gun and spray bodyshop grade epoxy and high build etc. It would be cheaper and a better coverage than the spray bomb stuff. Especially when you start the high build. Easier to get a nice flow so less orange peel texture.

**8man** · 03-24-2020, 09:06 AM

Progress!

Jason 56 · 03-24-2020, 09:57 PM

Your truck is coming along nice. You’re doing a great job on all the mods!

dsraven · 03-25-2020, 12:45 PM

I have a little blaster like that. works great. sure fills the coveralls pockets up quick though. haha.
curious what that black diamond media is and how it performs compared to sand. I use sand, works ok. thought maybe there is something better. does the black diamond leave a big profile?
