I'll be adding internal braces on the sides, and the corners. As for the rear, I'm considering some gussets, but the top plate sits right on the mount, and the rear face will be welded all the way around the mount. There's also a bottom side to all of this, so in the end, it'll basically be a large 'C' channel
You might consider making some holes in the bottom to make it easier to wash dirt out that will get packed in the scoop when it drags.
does a trailer hitch receiver fit under that?
I'm sure that one could if it were the right design.. I'm planning on building a receiver hitch behind the license plate, and having the license plate flip up. Reinforcement will just be a crossmember tying the receiver into the frame. Not like i really tow anything.Getting a tow hitch mount certified can cost upwards of $10k, and NWTI has about a dozen rear bumper designs...Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
any updates
Any recommendations on paint prep and final paint to use on bare steel?I was just thinking a few coats of self etching primer, then about 5 coats of black... Any recommendations of brand?
Got an air compressor? If so why not get some automotive paint and spray it with a gun?
Are you planning on painting black, if so rustoleum semi gloss black. Easy touch ups
I think the clear coat, will eventually get oxidized from uv light. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I've seen a 70 Chevy shortbed truck with welded doors, smoothed out completely at the good guys car show. 2 years later it was yellowing a bit. I was talking to the guy, he told me he was getting ready to sand it off and paint itSent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I'm sure you know, prep is everything. I use denatured alcohol, then a tack rag
If you go with rustoleum, use the brush/roll-on, it seems to hold up better than the spray can.
