Stainless steel bumper (front) for OBS

[Koser]

Hello, colleagues!
My second job after the acquisition of Suburban 1999 was the AISI 310 stainless steel bumper.
I started with the front bumper.
It's no secret that the chrome on our bumpers clumps and the bumpers corrode to through holes.
The situation needs to be corrected.
It's very difficult to repeat the design of GM engineers. But to get close to their design with a shiny surface is my job.
I used a 3mm-thick sheet from Outokumpu (Finland) with a mirror surface.
I calculated the dimensions.
Cut the sheet on the guillotine.
Bent it.
Bent it along the cut out sectors and welded it with welding in argon.

Very impressive piece of work there. I like it and really like it being rust proof.

Thank you for your assessment, colleagues!
The bumper is made with the prospect of installing a winch.
Later there will be installation of additional dipped beam and fog light "HELLA".

The winch pad and the receiver under the front towbar were welded from 7 mm thick stainless steel 310.
Screwed the platform to the frame.
The receiver under the square insert was painted with powder and embedded two M16 stainless rusty bolts into it.
