Day 34 - 9/18/11

Got the rear bumper ready for reassembly. Replaced some of the bolts on the brackets I took off. Cleaned up the bumper guards to put back on the bumper. But the rubber bumpers aren't very nice at all. One of them has the top corner ripped off, and the other the whole side is ripped and falling off. So, they will stay off for now. I can still get them on with the bumper already in place. So I'll be on a quest to find some better (not perfect) rubber bumpers. I've checked ebay, they only had the fronts and the Car and Truck Shop in Orange County has a new set for $36. I'll be out on the look out at Chehalis Swap Meet.

Putting the brackets back on, ready for assembly!

Finding the mounting points.

Group effort.

Successful! Doing the final gap comparison. Fits a little better than it did before. Hey, we got time! Joe on the line in '72 didn't so much.
