Thanks Tex. You aren't the first to find a resemblance to a football helmet. I think that will tone down some when more tubing is added.

There are certainly advantages to bolting things on, but this bumper will be part of an external roll cage (exo), so I think welding it on is the right way to go. If it needs to be removed, there are always cutoff wheels, sawzall blades, and torches. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
