More fitting the front end. First the bumper - using some
wood, a couple of milk crates and the lift I used the weight of the car to bend the bumper some. After this pic I flipped it over, put the wood on the center nose and bend again - close enough!
A lot of futzing with the header panel - it sat too low, and close. So some shims between it and the core support did some good, and the center brace from the core support was modded to lift it too. I finally got about a 1/8" gap all around, except the passenger side - I do not see a way to rid that. Hood closes nice also.
I tried to salvage the bumper bolts - an exercise in futility. Will have to wait till the new ones arrive mid-week.
