BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

Awesome work D!

Thank you Shawn!!

I'd have to bust out the Play Doh to make a bumper with those clean curves & bends.

I don’t know about Play Doh, but this one’s held together with welding wire and a dream.
😅

Thanks for the compliment.

I know you've done a lot (a LOT) of work on the other pieces/parts of the car, but this has got to be one of the most intensely detailed "remaking" of an entire bumper darn-near that I've ever seen.

It might have been simpler just to get a custom molded fiberglass piece. But you stuck with it and did it the "right" way. Kudos, dude. Mucho Kudos. Great piece of work. The details are astounding, yet without this context, I fear it will go unnoticed on the finished project because it will look like the factory did it.

Thats the best compliment he can get if they do

Thank you sir, I do believe that’s one of, if not the nicest thing anybody’s ever said about my work. And that’s saying something with all of the flattering comments and support the good folks on here have said over the years.

I’m truly humbled , thank you.

It’s always been my belief that a truly successful modification is a double edged sword. One the one hand, it should look like it belongs, as if nothing was ever done to it, but on the other, it’s likely that no one will ever truly appreciate the time, effort, determination and perseverance that it took to accomplish it.

Yes, I suppose I could’ve gone the fibreglass route, but then it wouldn’t be unique and different from what others have. Which somewhat defeats the purpose. It’s all about customizing YOUR car, to YOUR own individual tastes. I’ve been approached by folks wanting me to build them another one of this or that that I’ve built for myself, but the answer has always had to be “no”. I will build them something similar, but no, not exactly the same.

That’s just for me.

Again, I appreciate the compliments and kudos. Thank you.

Looks great

Thanks, it’s much appreciated!

Absolutely 100%. Could not agree more.
