As I mentioned elsewhere..... I bought a new floor drill press, my christmas present, and tried it out yesterday. It's an import, but Tractor Supply had them marked down on Christmas Eve, so I bought one.

I need a rear bumper of sorts to ballance the rear end and give it a finished look. Originally I thought some type of nerf bar setup, but I didnt want the top bar to be above the bottom of the tail light buckets. So that was out. I think I will just make a pipe bumper. That's what we would have done years ago to make a push bar.

I cut out some 1/4 bar stock, 2 inches wide and drilled some holes in it.
I'll take some 1 x 1/4 and make a top and bottom, to form an I beam. The curved end will face the front and I'll bend the 1 inch to follow the curve. The other end will be notched for some 2 1/4 I think. I had a piece, but it turned out about 5 inches too short. The story of my life........... I think about 40 inches wide which won't be quite as wide as the bottom of the rear, but will be about as wide as the width of the outside of the tail light buckets.
