Re: Winch Bumpers

I didn't think I did either until I started working on my 59, everything up to that point had been basically bolt on and replace. Been thru a lot of grinder wheels and discs but found the key is making a good cardboard template and the old measure twice cut once deal. Most of it is made of of flat trapazoids, not compound curves. Over cut to give yourself room to trim and fit. It looks like some of it was bent on a brake so welding would be just at the vertical joints. Jump in, the waters fine!
