Last weekend I started in on my custom front bumper for a Disco II. I started with a piece of 4' by 8' sheet of 11 ga (1/8") steel. I took some inspiration from the other custom bumper project posted on this site as well as Erik Burrows custom front bumper project. I would encourage anyone who is a big disco enthusiast to check out his website.

After taking some basic measurements of the front of the chassis, I figured it would be easiest to start with four plates, two on each side of the front chassis beams.

haha....you tried to link us to your email attachment....

 

If you haven't started cutting yet, consider using 3/16th steel for the support and strength you should have.

Listen to Mike on the gauge of steel. 1/8" is fine for just looks but if you want it to function then at least use 3/16". I am a bitof an over builder so maybe even for your attachments you could use 1/4" and then build more structure with the 3/16", if you have just some fill in areas then 1/8" is fine, but not really for the whole thing.

Figure out the pictures so we can see what you are building.
