[The Glademister]

Today I pulled the front bumper and fascia. Only wildlife I encountered was a loan wasp in the bumper steel bar. Did you know that PB Blaster is an effective wasp spray? Gets them so greasy they can't fly Anyway, the rubber bumper and crash bar came off easily enough. The fascia screws even came out without too much trouble. That fascia is really rough though. The front chassis structure isn't too bad at all - except for the lower corner on the passenger side where the front, wheel well and under pan all meet. Remembering the '73 and that corner being completely smashed gives me some hope however. I wonder if that '73 had had the robust late bumper, would that damage have happened? The drivers side lower corner on this '76 looks good though. The underside of the weather seal channel is just starting to rust so that's salvageable.
