Finally got the bumper and grill primed and re-installed. They were the rustiest parts.
There's more to be done with hood and fenders but I wanted to get her reassembled to FINALLY go and get plates!!!
I did have to straighten the bumper a little using my arbor press. Turned out great--all the holes lined up except 1, and I'm sure that 1 missing bolt isn't going to hurt anything--it's on the bottom side where the bumper attaches to the frame and it's one of the small ones, not the bigger ones. THere are 2 great big bolts right next to the empty hole. It's all good.
Pic att'd.
