It’s been slower moving than I wanted but still moving forward I guess. I want to repaint the bottom section of the red dash too before black is sprayed.

I need to buy a steel front valance to replace my cracked fiberglass one. Are they pretty much all reproduced in the same place with different brands on them?

And more
The top is pretty good but passenger lower corner must have gotten a chunk hit out of it at some point.
The bumper is really the last repair before a final primer, etc before black. |

Presuming that's bondo on the bumper, make sure you get rid of all of it from the bumper. Sandblasting the bumper then repairing gouges and cracks with two part 3m epoxy is the way to go.

Yes! There’s about 3 inches of bondo there. That’s the worst part of it.
Looking at that bumper about how many hours would you figure to prep that bumper for primer? |

I will say the two part epoxy is great stuff, I haven't seen any sign of cracks in my bumper since it was painted 8 years ago. I'm not sure how much it's recommended to build it up though. Old thread with some tips on repair: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=689837 Search for some old posts by PaulAtFast in the Body Shop forum. He posted a lot of good info on how to work with these bumpers.
