I pulled the front bumper and splash apron. The bumper was held on with some damaged bolts and was making a bunch of noise. Pedestrians would look over their shoulder as I came down the street, moms hustled heir children inside. I'm serious... It was pretty bad.
Bought new bumper bolts. Welded and straightened the splash apron as well as I could. It had been damaged in the past and poorly repaired then.
The bumper bracket is bent. Not quite sure how to straighten that. But now the bumper and apron are back on, straighter than before and makes no noise!

Next... Exhaust pipes for the 261 and see if I can adjust the steering box.
