for the fumes i had a mask on and a good fan blowing where i was weldin so the fumes blown outside. i was thinkin about taking the mounts all the way through the bumper but it would sit too close to the body, so i am going to add bracing to the mounts.
well got it done and mounted for now..
not bad for my first bumper i guess..best thing is all the material was free!! :twisted:
