Almost finished. Need to trim the ends of the horizontal bars and round them off a bit. I bent the out angles a bit sharper than the original one so had to move the vertical supports in board a bit. Am just using carriage bolts instead of messing with rivets. Need to get some more, only had 3 of the correct length laying around. Then some primer and paint. I just bent a single angle in the center instead of the 2 on the original but it still matches up pretty well with the main bar. Didn't want to spend too much time and aggravation, just wanted a bumper to protect my Hokie Hydraulics pump!! Don't think it turned out too bad for 4 hours work and $20 worth of flat bar.
Next up -- time to fab up a new grill. I have 2 and both are in bad shape. And since a standard grill won't fit over the front pump without some modification anyway, I'm going to design my own. Hope to get started on that soon....
