thanks and 120 in steel, 60 in cutoff wheels and grinding/flapper wheels, 30 in welding wire, and paint will probally cost about 100 so $310 ish and a lotta work. welding wise mostly tig on the outside of the bumper and for the inside and supports i used mainly flux cord until i ran out of wire and used just standard mig. thats pretty much it... i plan on painting it this week so ill post up more pics tomorrow.
thanks again
