Great pics Rusty. Keep em coming my friend. This saga seems to be playing out well. Any leads on a bumper yet? That's a nice looking hood you got there. Any issues you can see with the header panel?

Yeah, the hood latch is a BITCH :yum::yum::yum: And as for the bumper, I may head out to Gettysburg tomorrow morning to a yard up there.

Fitty bucks for all, m8 :D The hood has a couple chips and a scratch or two but I could not find one single ding or bend, which is what I wanted. Very happy with that. There was a bumper there that looks good, too, but some fucker took the fender off the same car, and warped the shit out of the bumper in the process. :glare: So if I can't come up with one tomorrow, I may attempt to fix it. Little bondo and some paint, and it will be 'good enough for now' :w00t2:

It was a bargain. I couldn't believe it when he said $50. I said, yeah I still have the hood, does that include the hood? He said yes, 50 for all. I said well, hell! Here ya go!!! I am gonna try and strike a deal with a local paint guy we use. "Paint my car at a big discount or even, gasp, free!, and I will put your business name on my car."

Only Rusty would wash the hood before he puts it on. He thinks it is like changing those brown stained underwear.:w00t2::yum::yum:
