Looks nice. Those bars connected to fender and core support look like heavier 73s . I have those on my 73 put together car,the 74 are thinner but still substantial compared to later thin bars. I priced a lift looks like yours. I'll wait awhile to my new concrete fully cures.

That fan shroud looks great. How did you finish it?

Started with an industrial ultrasonic cleaner we have at my school. It works fantastic on plastic. Then a light pressure wash to remove the residue. Then I used 00 steel wool very light over the entire piece, inside and out. Then gray Scotchbrite ultrafine on the problem areas. Finally a light re-buff with 00 steel wool. The color was a flexible SEM product called "bumper color". It has the right muted sheen and is made for plastic/rubber. No adhesion promoter needed. Just two light coats. I think it has a very natural look. The factory imperfections still show through which I wanted.
