Well the heart donor is officially flat lined!!! Pulled the cob off to remove the good stuff easier. Once the 11v was removed it for a bath of oven cleaner and high pressure water!! We will get new motor mounts and replace a couple gaskets. Then into the car hauler!!!

What's the wagon on the back of the truck in the second pic? Family truckster?
I don't know how to quote that pic.

The wagon is a 74 mercury colony park. I recently sold it to a guy in Arizona and he is fully restoring it.

I havnt had much time for the truck. But I did score a new set of seats for it!

Cutting and welding!

Made a small amount of progress today. I had an hour or so to cut and weld on the car hauler. Fixed the core support so I can start plumbing this thing, then start wiring!!

I like the new bumper. It has some style to it. It says something.

I would move the bullets out to the edge of the area that you trim out to clear the grille. That would put them out beside the bump in the grille. I would also be tempted to take a couple inches out of the middle to tighten it up closer to the fenders. Then I would tuck that baby as close to the grille as it will go. After that, I would peel off the loose chrome, and let it naturalize. Maybe clean it up a little and clear coat it. Maybe it should happen in different order, but that is the idea that popped into my little pea brain.

Thanks skip, I think it's just enough flair! The bumper looks like its made of a few pieces and the bullets hide the seems. So moving the bumper in a few inches is an easy enough plan. Not sure about moving the bullets out.

I also tossed up a few snap shots

It Will Look Fine...

Like you placed it. It's a Truck, not Mama's coochie coochie?

Are you going to Puyallup?

A pile of car guys from my town are going, and bringing their rods.

LOL that's one way to put it. I might Bill brackets and mock it up just as is. I really was not looking for a huge project when I decided it would look good on there period but a little bit and making it fit just right might make it look that much better. I do not think I'm going to Puyallup. Right now it's honestly too damn hot to do anything hahaha. We are trying to make it to the end of the world Rod run at the end of the summer but I'm not sure if that will happen either. I'm so busy with projects I don't have time to make my own stuff worth taking anywhere
