Almost time to go home.

 

The bumper is on. Pics are coming.

 

Well, I finally got it painted and installed. I'm happy.








What you guys think???

 

Good job!

 

Nice, Randall! Would look great with some certain black wheels on there.

 

I know. I'm still waiting for work to pick back up before I go out and buy anything else. If I knew we was going to have a layoff, I wouldn't have ordered the bumper.

 

Yeah, I know. There's talk of layoffs at my work, but they go by seniority so I'll be safe. Still gets you thinking though. :o

 

Yes it does. The last time we had a layoff back in '02, they went by seniority. This time, they looked at those of us that show up for work every day and is willing do what every it takes to get the job done. The owner of the company hates the phrase, "THAT"S NOT MY JOB." 2 guys that has been there for 20+ years always said that. Now, they're no longer there.

 

Bumper looks good Randall.

 

All that work and you could have just drilled two big holes in your stock one?

 

Thank God I am a Union member. I can say that all day long. Not that I do though. I work, and I enjoy what I do.

Right now I build the instrument panel for each version of the F-35, as well as the EOTS panel (Electro-Optical Targeting System) which is pretty darn important. Both are, actually.

Since I brought up jets, here's a cool F-22 vid.

Ok some of those moves looks like he just dang near stops and then kind of just floats. Absolutely wicked.

 

Yep. Too bad they're shutting down the production line.

 

after I took the old one off, I realized that it had the mounting holes for the brackets to hold the lights. But, I wouldn't have the lip that the new bumper has. For $197, it's a good deal.
