Re: 1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon Project

Since it's colder at the door, and also because my garage is a bit too short, the
car was turned around for working on the front.
The front of this car is all askew, the lower part of the grille is almost an inch
too far to the driver's side, and the lights of that side are too far set back by
about 3/4". This car has had more than its fair share of fender benders and
mishaps. The result is not nice, and it's hard to tell where to start. So I just
took a deep breath and dived right in.



The front bumper came off pretty easily. The bottom part of the grille is
attached to the bumper, some hammering remedied it not being centered.
Funny enough, this was all but impossible to accomplish with the bumper
mounted on the car, but with everthing unbolted it was a cinch.
With things hammered and adjusted, I was almost chocked at how off the left
hand side bumper end looked. It wasn't like this before.... Was it?



At this time measures were taken, and the whole thing removed again. A few
tries later the bumper fits much better.
