Well we had a little night shift action at the Hot Rod Garage tonight and low and behold the bumper has been installed. It looks great, really great, and it pretty much dropped into place with few issues or tweaking. We measured the brackets and the mounting holes in advance to get everything close, and I am sure that helped. The right side wrap needed some persuasion to get close to the correct horizontal position and we used a bottle jack which worked very well. It looks like it could stand to go up another 1/8" or so, but it's hard to tell with the car sitting on the lift with the side so close to the wall. We also had one rear bracket that was about 1/4" off, but MPD was able to get a gear wrench in without removing the bumper and loosen the bracket. Once it was loosened the bracket had enough play to make the mounting holes.

The list is getting a lot shorter. The plating guys called today and the jack shaft and MC cap are getting plated tomorrow. Now all I need is for a radio to show up and we'll be back on the road.

BTW - I do need one correct long bumper mounting bolt. If anyone has one I would be very appreciative. Here's the pictures.
