Jeff and Doug, thanks for the info. I know it may have been easier to take the front frame extensions off a couple of years ago, but I didn't. The original bumper was bent pretty bad on the left side, and that grille was shattered. So I just took everything apart piecemeal. I think I will try Jeff's suggestion and put the grilles in the bumper, get my 7 and 9 year olds to hold the bumper while I bolt in the fillers, and go from there.
I spent most of my evening figuring out what bolt went where and cleaning / painting the bolts for this week's installation. Good thing I have my '68 to see how everything goes back together.
I had them sitting side by side tonight in the garage. But then my wife got home from work and I had to move one out.
When I took everything apart a couple of years ago, I thought it would only be for a few months! Boy, was I wrong. I did take a bunch of pictures of the interior dis-assembly, so those should help. I just have deluxe door panels, carpet, front seats and belts, console, license plate brackets, and the bumper. That should pretty much finish her up!
Can't wait for her first cruise!
