So sick, and it'll be even more badass when you build your front bumper. What style are you going to build? A big one like the DBR or a lower profile one like this?

almost like the one you posted. The top bar follows the contour of the grill and there is a lower hoop that bolts into the sway bar bolt holes on the frame. then bars connecting them for a skid plate.

got a little more done, been super busy so its just an hour here or there.

the top bar comes up a little short on the sides but its not too bad lookn. Its just I had that bar bend a while back and I figured I might as well try and use it. still need to add more support bars etc but you get the picture, not the greatest bumper but its my first.

mix of camera and phone pics since my cam died.

Just weld an extension on the ends of the bumper, and make sure your support will strengthen the weld area.
