Project "Big Country" - Front Bumper Fab

[SC74]

Got a good day's work on it today upergrin:

I started off this morning by notching the driver's side fender so that it would clear the cowl when turned in. I had the fenders loosely bolted to the grill so that they would have room to angle, but what a pain to get to those bolts with all of the extra sheet metal in the way that attaches to the core support. A few more cuts and all that is gone too :bdent:

I ended up taking everything over to Keith's house and we worked on it there the rest of the day - we've got a "mock-up" frame and tube at his house that was a lot easier to do all of the work on with more space.

The biggest thing was the gap between the fender and grill at the top of the grill. Keith got to snipping some sheet-metal and did an awesome job :rubeyes: filling the gap with some scrap sheet-metal that we had cut off the fenders. We decided to go ahead and weld the body line closed since we did the same to the rear - that way there won't even be bolts necessary to hold the fenders and grill together.

We were out of good flap-disc and plan on stocking up tomorrow to do the clean-up work, but here it is!
