Got the battery cables mounted the way I want them Yes on the brush guard, seems to me it makes the front end come together, sorta tough look |

Re: PO has me PO'd
This part needs some attention, looked at several videos from fitzees fabrication and will attempt his method, part is in reproduction, but don't want to pay

Re: PO has me PO'd
This is what the reproduction looks like, minus surface rust, but it's for the wrong side
Should make a good template though https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c9eca62a_c.jpg16523601980051451715837370057391 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97391199@N06 |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Looks like your original might almost be salvageable. Will be getting ready to start on all that soon on mine. Got all the new parts that have been sitting here since 2016 i think :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd

As the saying goes you can either weld good or weld alot, I tend to be the latter, so we'll see how this goes |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Richard, curious to see if it really did fit behind and below the front bumper, 10 tool boxes and can't find the right combination to get at the top bumper bolts. 67,68 front grille isn't helping
Now, just to get grille guard mounted Should look really sweet 2 deaths in the family isn't helping me keep up my morale last week, Older brother, and 1 on her side Went on your thread, amazing progess...... Was on 301 the other day, Kent Island, area, saw a sign for signs, thought of you |
