Custom Bumper: Primer and Grille
At this stage the bumper is nearing completion. (could be considered complete other then paint but consideration has to be made for additional steps .. specificially the grille) Feedback

Pic 1 At this stage, the bumper has been filled, sanded and primered. Of course, was a bit more to it then that. You do that first part and then wet sand. High and low places appear. You fill in the low places and knock a little off of the highs. Sand again, prime and repeat. This is at the 'good nuff' stage. I still need to wet sand with some fine sandpaper but basically, it is finished.
Pic 2 The bumper cuves so that there is a 2" difference in the 35½" length.
