    Save the Bumpers naturally but ALSO the splash Guard under the grille .. These are becoming difficult to locate!
    Just my opinion ! You might hold on to the Comet HOOD LATCH assembly also !

    relocated the power block on the Mav today. been wanting to do it for a while but didn't want the hassle of doing it. come to find out it was a lot simpler than expected. I should have done it sooner.

    The left side, roof and deck lid are bare metal/bondo, hood is white, right side is primer.
    VERRY few good body panels.:(
    Car was bought for the A/C dash, heater box, interior panels and hood (the crude hole will be covered by a GT scoop).
