Hey that's pretty slick. Having BTDT with much simpler stuff, I can
REALLY appreciate how challenging that is. And I've never laid hands
on Aluminum or a TIG.

Where the end cap shapes to the body, doesn't that portion of body
panel have at least two angles? Tricky.

Did you have fun setting up the welds?      ;)

It is harder than it looks to make a nice looking endcap, the transition from the bumper proper is tricky. I was making things up as I went along, and that means finding mistakes after some work has been done :)
