Those are nice bumpers!  Can you tell from looking at them how the tubing
was bent (i.e., does it show signs of crimping or deformation or having
notches cut out on the inside of the radius?  I know nothing about bending
tubing!) and about how thick it is?  Also wondering if the rear bumper is
attached to the body anywhere other than the standard mount points towards
the middle.  I'm thinking about making myself a set like yours, but a few
details remain to be determined ;)

p.s. For a moment I didn't realize it was a VW van... no rust!  Nice...
