Progress on the new Buckstop bumper for The Turtle V

As final modifications were made to the new Buckstop bumper for The Turtle V, Gabriel Arreola used a plasma cutter to trim off the wing tips to match the flares of the front wheel wells. We robbed the rock guard that protects the power steering cooler and adapted it to the new bumper. Factory tie-down loops were drilled out and attached with grade-8 bolts to the main bumper frame. Powder coating is next.
