thanks for the kind words guys.

yeah im putting the bumpers back on. on my old ute i had, i welded them up, also shaved the handles and hinges and was going to swing the tail gate for something different (but after a month of trying differnt hinge combo's i gave up on that). but on this build i wanted to keep it simple and tidy..

oh and the front lip is my home jobby, i first made a template out of wood. i spent a few nights trying different styles and shapes.. then i wraped it in sheet metal, i just clamped the temp over the sheet to a big heavy bench an went nuts with the hammer and dolly, then pulled out the temp and welded up the seems on the end corners and when to work agian with the hammer and dolly..
