I'm sure slow progress will be the theme for the next couple of months.
This weekend I got the rear bumper installed. That was easier than the front. I only had to cut, bend and re-weld one cross brace. The front brackets, I decided, just weren't worth the trouble. They are twisted and pushed almost an inch to the left side. I ordered new ones.
The taillight bezels are only in here for a test fitting. I have to remove the corner pieces to get access to their mounting screws. But I did also get the trunk weatherstrip installed.
The challenge with those taillight bezels is they use weird captured nuts that, as far as I can tell, are only available if I buy new bezels. But I think I can fabricate some using sheet metal, tin snips, a drill and self-tapping screws. I do have two of the eight nuts so I have an idea what they're supposed to be like.
Meanwhile I found that I have three door handles. Unfortunately only one fit properly, the other two have much longer actuating rods. It does seem like the one that I need will fit after cutting the rod down. I ordered the rubber gaskets for those, they should go in when those and the bumper brackets come in. I'm hoping by the holiday weekend, but probably not. Restoration suppliers aren't all that fast.
