We got the car body onto the dolly today--a real milestone. With luck, it will go to the paint shop by the end of the week.

We also upgraded the wheels on the rotisserie. The paint shop will probably use it for stripping and for priming the underside. The original wheels might not survive rolling in and out of the shop.

Mounting the red wheels required cutting off the original plates and welding on new ones.

Started on the rear, with the straightest bumper in the collection. First fit on the car, with my original top cap.

Right end. The gap along the side fender recess looks big (but the cap is against the fender).

Overall the fit looks pretty good, just a bit high on the right side.

For the front, the straightest bumper had a small but distinct dent near the left end.

To mount the top cap, and have it aligned properly, I had to remove the dent. After some work with my press and hammers, I got it 90%--good enough for the fitting.

I also had to come up with a temporary fix for the modified dog bone, since the PO trimmed one by 2/3 to adjust for the crappy right fender repair.

Since I do not have a spare, I made a wood dog bone spacer.

Dig my temporary dog bone need to be bone-shaped? No, but why not?

And the right (bad) side. Not too bad, but needs more work.

Thanks, Mike--and thanks for the chance to look at your cars to compare bumper fit.

More bumper fitting today. In the rear, I elongated the holes a bit so the bumper sits lower. To get it to fit closer, I think I will need to shave some dog bones.

In the front, I redid the recess in the right fender for the top cap corner. Here is the way it was, with markings (hard to see).

And after a bit of hammer work, build-up MIG welding, and grinding.
