Hope everyone is well, since most of you guys know my car I'm going to pick-up with most recent updates. As some of you know, my youngest has had health problems so I am unable to work on the car at a pace I would like to but it is moving fwd. She has had 2 Surgeries since the beginning of the year and is hopefully on the right track now. She is doing much better and thanks to everyone for the prayers. Special thanks to JDMOPAR and BARRYBUM..I appreciate you guys! The car is still in teardown mode and parts being restored as I go. The drivetrain, brake system and driver door are all that is left on the car. I pulled the steering wheel column a few weeks ago and loosened the torsion bars but have not removed them completely. It was a great day yesterday, so I asked my neighbor to lend a hand so that I could reassemble the restored grille pieces. Here are pics of before and after. Thanks to everyone on the grille thread for the advice. It's not perfect but I'm pleased with the results.

Update...progress starting to be made again! Since my daughter's situation has been improving a little, it has given me a some free time to work on the car again. Here are some pics of recent progress. Took a bunch of parts to my media blaster and then refinished them. Front bumper brackets were disassembled, blasted, painted and reassembled. Here's a close-up.

No need to buy a new one when you are doing nice work like that.
