That is all. It moves closer and closer every day... Also, some dingus backed into me, so the bumper needs to be replaced.

Love at first sight. Are you going to go blue everywhere or paint the body a different color?

2 steps forward, 1 step back. Such is the way.
Looking great though! Were you around to collect insurance info or did they hit an d run?

Are the fact the front indicators are missing the only issue with the turn signals?

The stupid 9 pin relay burned up and exploded. I have, temporarily, used a flasher and 2 relays to replace it, though I do not have hazards because of my modification. I will use a dpdt switch and a 2nd flasher to replace hazard functionality, which is essentially required (hazards need to be unkeyed to work without the ignition on...)
Elsewise, the turns , reverse, running, and brake lights are all currently working. The wiring is being yanked soon though so i can upgrade everything with TXL modern automotive wire, LEDs and metripack connectors.

I am leaning towards blue everywhere, though I might go blue body, white roof. If I go solid blue, I am considering Kubota Orange on the wheels to break it up some.

Hit and run. But the honest truth is... the bumper was made from .090 HREW, and I’m going to remake it real fast from .120 DOM I ahve it laying around and its like.. 5 bends and some quick welds.
I think its about 10 dollars in materials and less than an hour of labor.. so like 60 bucks? Hardly worth the effort. Would have been nice if they didnt hit and run though....

Yeah, that was very shitty of them. I’m both glad you’re able to fab something up that will ultimately end up being an upgrade, and am doubly glad they only tweaked the bumper and didn’t leave you with a total’d wreck.
Hopefully they'll get an STD or something, to even things up, cosmically speaking.

Blue and Orange! BLUE AND ORANGE! I did my block Hemi O range and all the brackets and whatnot GM Blue. Looks really good.

My local supplier considers anything under 2 feet to be scrap length and charges per pound. I just bought 3 pieces and butt-welded them togther. It’s a bumper, not a roll cage, so its perfectly sound.
