Bumpers
One bumper from the vehicle needs some welds cut off and one from the salvage yard needs some straightening from a local machine shop. Both will be powder coated a light grey.

Filler and Primer
Filler I used a gallon of Evercoat Rage Ultra from a painters suggestion. It sands easier. And with great expenditure of sand paper all the obvious low spots were filled. I started with 40 in a random orbital (electric DA equivalent) and moved to 80 grit on a larger board. Then 120 grit on a large board. Primer High build primer. I used 3 coats Evercoat Optex Super Build 4:1, which sprays on pink and sands grey. So its essentially urethane primer, filler and guide coat in on. Started sanding with 220 grit on a large block, this created a ton of dust. Then I moved to 320 on a large block, which really cleaned up the entire thing. Trailer It looked pretty good but there were several areas I wished I filled/sanded that showed up in the sun on the trailer.
Clutch
The arm on the clutch master cylinder fell off when we tried to pump it and its bent. So a new one came from IH Parts America and its going in. An extension rod is needed. Push rod extension, reusing the old one with a 5/8" bolt retainer. Ihpartsamerica.com saved the day again by sending me this link to a clutch push rod on ebay at scouterI https://classicscoutparts.com/ Thanks to Lou and Diane Rochin again, the push rode went in easy and after a bit of bleeding and rusty fluid flowing out, the clutch started working after who knows how long, maybe 10 years sitting in the Lolo campground.
