Good luck, because I love your idea so far

Thanks for the suggestion, sometimes when you're so immersed in the problem of the day, you forget to step back a bit. I have a little project I've had on the back burner for way too long. My nephew gave me a grinder setup that belonged to his late, great Dad. I've been meaning to finish assembling it so I'd have a green stone for sharpening carbide instead of doing it manually. Think I'll burn a day and do that.

That's quite alright, Dan. You and Jan have so much on your plate at any given time, it's a wonder you have time to keep up with forum stuff.
Made a few adjustments to the bumper today and some decisions about how to proceed. One last time, I split the center cut in the license plate area and tacked it to let the ends of the bumper come up slightly. I now have a 1/2" gap outboard and 7/16" in the center. I'll be able to make that work so it will never be noticed. I also trimmed and split the corner of the end piece to align it better with the fender. I still have some hammer and dolly work to do. The back edge will follow the edge of the gap I'm creating on the fender. More to come after I take a little break.
