front clip progress, painting bits and pieces

[Dropt72Shortbed]

well ive gathered a full 68 front clip for my truck, got two new 67 fenders and found a straight 67 grille. so times come to put the new clip on my 72. i started sanding primering and painting all the little old rusted orange/brown pieces that hold this thing together and boy is it alotta work. as much as i would have liked to have done it the proper way and had the parts properly painted or powdercoated i just dont have that type of cash flow as a college student. so i went ahead and rattle canned it and it didnt come out too bad, just took half my day starting to dissassemble the clip i bought and sand, paint and primer 4 little parts. ive got plenty more work to do...

this is what i started with after i got the hood off




if you look hard enough to the top right corner you can see right through the bottom ** of the fender it was rusted so bad lol (right below the stars)



getting there



and done
