Found my old forward crossmember and tossed it in with the original horse shoe. It definitely looks better. But still not perfect. I bet the bumper is in fact twisted on the passenger side.
Kind of annoying as the first crossmember was a reprising. Which means my original is bent or has something wrong. Or the reproduction doesn't fit as well as it should...
I've been dormant for a while. The car was dropped off at my painter some time ago. I would do check ins to Soo how it's going take pictures etc. I finally have a picture or two that gets me excited.
well here's my official update from the painter. It definitely is costing more than I thought it would. I'm not done yet!. do ake note of my super not rusted windshield frame.
That's certainly a bright spot. Amongst other things.
I spent way too much on fixing the wrong car. I should have waited for a 68 with a tank sticker and original block so I wouldn't be so upside down. But I expect the sticker shock goes away at first turn of the ignition.

I would make a list so you can keep track of what you have checked. check all your systems to see what does work and what doesnt work. Then start checking the wiring from the headlights to the fire wall, from the tail lights to the cabin, then the interior. If it was molested by rodents i would suspect they would eat the exterior lines first. If you check your systems functions it will give you an idea what else could be wrong.
