Found a bumper cover in St George, Ut, about 90 miles away. $115.00 includes the brace, both in good condition. Also picked up a straight hood and if late model headlights work I will get them . Should recieve new sway bar links anyday as well as KYB struts all around. Progress is moving along. I am taking photos as I go and eventually will put them on the forum if you guys are interested. Looking to have it painted in the next 2 -3 weeks. Paint and minor body work will be about $700.00. I also took pictures of the exhaust and tailpipe installation with a glass pack muffler behind the cat convertor Turned out pretty good, with minimum welding. Connected the muffler with bolt on flanges for easy in and out.
Any way for those interested thats the update.

Bill will probably be going down to Apple Valley in the next week. A friend wants to look at a couple of glider projects. Will call you prior. Might be able to get together!

That looks nice and loud. :rocker

Pictures are great! :thumb

I like to put a space between the pics and if it's short some text directly after the pic. Just a thought.

[img] whatever the pic is.jpg [/img] Short text.
Long text.

Thats it for now.EXCEPT I need to know what SIZE and where to purchase new rear sway bar mounting bracket bushings. the rear still has a clunking sound periodically. Thought it might be the bushings. Have not replaced the struts yet.
