The shop I asked about making my bumper said they would weld all the pieces of it together. They don't have the machine to bend or fold over the steel or something like that. What I gathered is there will be a visible weld bead running down each seem. Anyone seen it done like this our can speak about it? He said he could take it to his friends shop to get the steel folded over or cut bend and fill the crack with weld and grind smooth but both options add $1k to the build. He said my price of $1500 was to make a template and then sell the rest at $2500. Seems pricey, I'm thinking about picking a welder up and taking some classes. Classes would be free for me at least.
