Bumper build for a '95 GMC Pickup

[Toolmaker51]

I built this bumper for my '95 pickup back in 1999/2000. It's been holding up fairly well for 18 years.
I started with a raw steel bumper then built the lower air dam out of 10ga. steel, 1 1/2", 3" and 5" dia. tubing.

Truly, a work of art. Not any injection molding going on there! Bumper, tubing and 10 ga plate components are obvious, along with the serious contouring to seamlessly meld them together. The faired and frenched outer light nacelles are very cleanly developed, radiused openings of the larger lamps too. What was the source of 'stand-offs' [?] supports at either end of the central blade? They look 50's Buick or such. Fabbing of concave edges defies my imagination.
I hate to guess what a custom shop would charge for it. Yikes!
