Cinnamon 75 Duster \
but that's not all...
Back bumper is on. Wasps were harmed.
As I lined up the bolts on the right absorber and looked into the box on the end of the frame rail I saw a few of them on the nest about a foot from my nose. :eek: Didn't have any wasp spray, so I gave them a shot of rust reformer. LOL Had to do battle with a few more as they continued to come looking for their nest.
I have been trying but never got my hands on the retainer clips for the bumper bolts that go to the absorbers. Would have made things a lot easier. Especially on the bottom bolts it was tough to keep them from pushing back while trying to thread the nut on. (1 or 2 more people might have been good too) But I was determined to get it on. Set it up on a plastic container and some boards really close to the right height and maneuvered it in as I started the threads. Got them just starting to snug and gave it a few nudges to align it. Then tightened all.
Not the prettiest bumper. Quite speckled in fact, but will have to do for a while. Some time after I get the paint done I can consider the investment in nice chrome...
