Well, I finally attemopted my first fabrication project.
So here goes:
I started with some drafting (and measuring on the Heep)to figure out what I wanted.
Then I drew up a working 3-d sketch in Rhino, mostly so I could get my head around it, and figure out what I needed in materials. I bought a piece of 2"x6" steel for the main bumper piece from Satan here on the board, so that was my starting point.
You can view the whole 3-d file here http://www.3dmodelprint.com/Jason/bumper3-d.html here, you will just need to download the viewer from 3DC.
Here are some pics prior to painting it. The only things I don't have shown here, are the pieces that attach from the corner "wings" to the frame rail. It's painted now and on, but I will need to get some finihsed pics after I can get everyhting back together and move it out of the garage.
As I said, finihsed pics to come soon.
