Re: 68c10/c6

I like where your going with the bumper! I don't like the raised plate mount area much myself. I might consider radiusing the bottom of the center opening to make it more resemble the grill openings maybe? Just a thought.

Re: 68c10/c6

Thanks for the input Mike we did start with a cutout like the grill but after multiple opinions we opted to shape it like the radius at the top of the fenders I still need to fill it in it's not done that's just a cut opening the opening will reduce once that's done!

Yeah that bumper has moved way into very cool territory. Nice look and execution.

Re: 68c10/c6

No! Thanks for the compliment... I'll be painting mine to match the rest of the trim & wheels! I've decided on a more aggressive look for this truck!

Re: 68c10/c6

The rear looks good. How did you make the lower separation trim?

Re: 68c10/c6

I bought some 5/8 wide 1/4 round aluminum strips and bent them using a pulley and a 4" break! The cool thing is you can chrome it or powder coat it in my case I'm going to powder coat all the trim to match!

That rear end will look good when you're done with it! Love what you've done with the front end!
