Re: #22 curse or sun blindness: Saturday's accident
Yes I've seen it too, I think it is called Eastwood. One catch is that you can't powder coat over chrome, so you'll need to strip the whole bumper down first. Also there is a clear coat layer that goes over it to make it harder.
Your repairs are looking good.

Re: #22 curse or sun blindness: Saturday's accident
Sorry RCM, but I don't know anymore about the powder coat than Smtichy already stated. I just figured if Jay Leno thought it was good, it must be pretty nice since he can afford almost anything.

Re: #22 curse or sun blindness: Saturday's accident
Thanks for the support guys, I appreciate the input. I'll see what happens. The bumper isnt so bad after all. If all the cars chrome was in mint condition, I'd have to chrome. But its not. Everything is harmoniously beat up. I'll think of what to do later, but now, with your advice, I've got options.
The bumper is in place and straight. I thought that the forge's heat would be more noticed. |

Re: #22 curse or sun blindness: Saturday's accident
Yes I did Ron, here goes: http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/t...ing/5765wiring diagrams/Ford/MWire5765-194.jpg. Its for the 57-65 fords, but I think overall its the same deal.
I followed a lead left by a fellow barner or hamber on some other post I cant remember. Thanks for the support. |

Re: #22 curse or sun blindness: Saturday's accident
My welcoming scenario as I arrived at the shop yesterday afternoon:
I assembled the whole front and drove it home later in the evening. It was a frightening experience because I didnt have the time to finish the electrical wiring, so no lights nor horn... But she had to sleep at home... I'll take some final pics later. And then we'll close this thread... at last! |

Re: #22 curse or sun blindness: Saturday's accident
Here's some bad cellphone shots from yesterday evening.
Differences are spotable, but I can live with them. I'm just thrilled to be able to drive her again. Thanks for the support. |
