Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
The grill panel was a nightmare, almost no part of it was straight. The center bar was pushed in and twisted right in the center emblem stamping and highly stretched, there was rust between the inner brace and outer sheetmetal, the bottom peices behind the bumper were mangled, bent, and cracked, and one of the headlight stampings was pushed in a good bit. The joys of not having replacement panels available!
Headlight/turnsignal area warped.
Grill bar damage..
Bumper filler damage.
Rust.
Cracks, in every corner of the bumper bracked notches.
