Oh there will be more pics, I promise you that. So, onto yesterdays and this mornings activities.
There were some "issues" with painting last night. Bottom line, I finished at 7:15 am this morning. It looks good. The color seems a little off at certain angles. I didn't have the bumper at the perfect angle to the hood/fender when I painted it so the mettalic may have layed differently. I'm waiting till I cut and buff to make a final decision. Also seeing it in natural sunlight will make a huge difference. Note to the home painter - do NOT play with your dogs during flash times. ESPECIALLY if your dog is a husky who just started blowing his winter coat. Somehow a piece of hair managed to get right smack in the middle of the rear bumper. Took a while to tack, sand and recoat. Lucky for him he's a good dog.
Anywho - shiny new painted bumper
With some careful measuring, in bolt is all you need to keep the bumpercover secure
Joe, here's what I came up with. 14ga stainless with a flange nut welded on the inside welded to the fender. All the bolts/nuts are easy access. Bumper comes off in about 5 minutes.
Nothing else done today. Took a 2 hour nap before heading to MSG for a Bruins game..... fender and molding tomorrow hopefully.
