Solid Aluminium Front Bumper
Hi All
need some opinions I have designed a couple of simple bumpers for my Freightliner Logger and I want to know which one to use. These are both very similar to the plastic one in the kit but that's what a Logger generally uses, It will be 6mm solid Aluminium, polished of coarse, I will also add the rubber mudflaps and Spot lights. Option A: with number plate below the main section in the middle Option B: with the number plate screwed to the middle of the main section(not shown) Cheers Paul |

Re: Solid Aluminium Front Bumper
"B" it is
to be honest it will be easier anyway and look more like a working truck. Here is the bumper half way through its cut three hors gone, about another two to go.......... here is a link to my router in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1__-GrgPzDA cheers Paul |

Re: Solid Aluminium Front Bumper
Here is my bumper, cleaned up and ready to be polished, there are a few marks that I hope will sand out prior to polishing
Sitting next to the plastic Kit one, it is already twice as good without even being polished, very happy with the result, should look ok on the truck..........I hope Cheers Paul |

Looks good and much better than the plastic one.... even with the scratches in it..

Re: Solid Aluminium Front Bumper
Excellent, I wish I had a router like that. Whom am I kidding? I barely know how to use my table top mill.
