I ordered a set of the rubber grommets for the trim on the front hood project, so today I decided to remove the rest of the trim to see the condition of those rubber grommets and their missing, so I cleaned up the area and replaced them all.

The front end had been wrecked at some point, I replaced all the new bolts and hardware to get the old bumper back on, either the bumper is bent or the front end isn’t aligned correctly but either way the bumper is much more firm now. I just need to clean and polish it now.

The next project on this 62 bug is the front bumper, it’s a little hard to tell from this photo, but, it’s not mounted on all the way, I ordered all the new bolts, rubber grommets, and mounting brackets.

The bumper needs to be completely removed, cleaned, polished and remounted. Just waiting for the parts to arrive.

All block sanded and ready for paint.
