Nice work!Finally finished the trailer hitches ( one for the rear and one for the fron bumpers). The rear bumper is pretty much done and ready to go to get powder coated ( as well ast the new steps/Bumperettes). I have built in two locations for r the Flag Poles ( 3/4” diameter solid aluminum ) that screw on /off from the bumper. Starting to drill my front bumper for all the accessories so it also can go out for powder coating. The cans/housings for the LED back up/get off my butt lights are also fine and ready to get powder coated. Finally, after all the years that I dreamed to do this, I am finally getting them done..

Thanks and yes, I will take some pics and post them when I do that. Right now I am working on the new bullet hinges for the hood. I want to try them first before I chop out the hood for the louver insert. Many told me to just bolt the insert over the hood for looks but I am. It doing that.. once done with the hood, I will replace the plastic front bumper cover with a 3/8 aluminum one that I am going to also make my self.Looking good! Love to see pics of the drop down tailgate when you get there. Nice work.
Absolutely. I will need some dimensions for and holes locations. Other than that I can do it and can use your own design. I have a friend that owns Gangster chopper and I can probably can get some of the dimensions from him ( unless you have som old parts and I can use to get my dimensions from)…Looks really Kool!
I was wondering if you've ever made or would consider making a gaurd for an open primary on my Chopper?

I have one suggestion about the edges of the hinges where you would bevel the edge (no idea if that's the correct term, so correct me if I am wrong, but I have an example). I really like this design though and would be interested in buying one from you if you would be willing to produce another.So I didn’t feel like messing around in the shop and started to play designing parts. I decided that the cheesy hood hinges needed to go. So here is what I came up with. Theh hinges will be made out of aluminum billet and then powder coated flat black. Top and sides of the text will be re machined after that. The flat surfaces thickness will be 3/8” and the round diameter of the hinges will be 3/4”. 3/8 stainless steel pivoting pin. Please tell me what you think??

All edges will have to be beveled/chamfered. Sharp corners are ugly, dangerous and get banged up quickly. Let me work on these hinges and have a working prototype first. Once I do that and make the first set I will gladly make you a set. Thanks for watching my progress on these parts. Finishing the Front bumper “Medalion” today!I have one suggestion about the edges of the hinges where you would bevel the edge (no idea if that's the correct term, so correct me if I am wrong, but I have an example).

My Custom made Rear bumper steps/Bumperettes are now back from the powder coating. Can’t wait to skim cut all the top surfaces so the frame and the Jeep script shows in aluminum color. The 3 small screws is what I will use to bolt them to the bumper (5/16 stainless steel button head screws. The large hole is used as clearance for the flag poles or canopy poles that will screw into the bumper ( aluminum poles). BTW if you wonder why 3 of them.. Well I always make an extra one in case during the process of making stuff I might screw something up and so I have a spare. In this case they all came out OK so I decided to powder coat it also..

Sorry to hear of your problems and good luck.Just finished my rear bumper steps. The bumpers, trailer hitches, LED lights cans and covers are still at the powder coating shop. I have been sick for the past 3 weeks and I am scheduled to be admitted in the hospital this Sunday evening.
