8/14/26: Since my last update, I’ve prepped and painted the front clip components. I pre-fit the inner fenders, scuffed the parts with a Scotch-Brite pad, and shot them with Rust-Oleum semi-gloss paint. I also sanded and painted all the edges of the fenders so they're completely ready to be mounted and sprayed right on the truck.

I also sprayed the last of the frame that I wasn’t able to reach before I removed the front clip.

I’m waiting on a bolt kit I ordered from Classic Parts, that includes all of the fasteners for the front clip. Since the entire front clip was a mismatch of fasteners with a good portion of them missing, I figured this was the easiest route to take.

I’m getting excited, things are really coming together!
