I then make an effort to seal all the leads with a combination of standard tubing and heat-shrink stuff.

With the lights done, I can get going on completing the front. I got out my lower valence, a bit lumpy but its powder-coated and should resist chips.

After some minor twisting, I got the valence mounted. That included some home-made spacers for the side bolts, between the valence and the lower fender edges.

Good Morning Bob. As usual your work is incredible. I like the idea of the waterproof plug for the fog lights, as it serves the primary function, but also allows for pulling the wires back if needed in the future without hacking the wires again. I was wondering where you sourced the standard wire sheathing? I cant seem to find a resource here in east Texas.
Keep up the great work. |

Thanks. I can't remember the source for the standard cable tubing. At least some of it has been in my electrical supply box for years.

Today was bumper day. I had these re-chromed in Tucson last year. Lots of hand smudges.

Here's the front bumper top I took off the car, one of the few parts I found that is actually in good condition.

I cleaned it with Simple Green, and then gave it a rubber treatment.

To check the fog light positions, I mounted the grills in the bumper. New repro grills from 914 Rubber.

To make the speed nuts fit better, I trimmed the corners off the front plates.

The fit looks pretty good, which makes me happy since the right side is where I pulled the outer fender, spliced in part of the inner fender and headlight box, and reconstructed the front panel.

And top view, right side. I might shave a few mm off the rubber spacer to draw the bumper in just a bit.
