Finally got back to working on the car. Removed the right grille and part of the front end. Also the two brackets that connect to the crossmember. They are the brackets that the horsecollar grille is attached to. Once again, I took out my hammer and chisel to work on that damn bumper nut and bolt. I figured out why it is so tough. When the nut was tightened down, the washer underneath it was bent inward so it is now concave, basically wedging the nut on tighter. Add some corrosion and that makes it even worse. Oh well, I could use the workout I guess. I should have the front end disassembled by the end of this week. I'll be sandblasting the parts after that, and then applying the primer. The radiator support has a rusted spot that will have to be cut out and a patch welded in. That will be my first test to see how much I learned in welding class. I'll post some pictures tonight.
