1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
Not a real productive week last week. Didn't make much progress the latter half of last week or over the weekend with other obligations keeping me away from things.
Started making the bumper mounts last night. Got one almost finished and the other mostly done. Just have to weld on the mounting tab in the right location on the second and do finish welding and cleanup on the first to make it look nice. Must have taken the bumper off 15-20 times trying to get position and height right. Used the original bumper mounts as a template to start from. Just made them much shorter to keep the bumper tucked in closer to the body (keeping about 1/2" gap to the body).
Like how its coming along. Once these are done I can finish the final welding and cleanup on the bumper and remove it all, send the bumper for chrome, and pull the lower valance for epoxy and body work in prep to do final paint on the entire car. Can't wait.
