Have all the parts for the car except the hood and the front bumper skin. Surprisingly, the front bumper skin may be usable.
Found the hood and front bumper in gray in New Mexico. I will be working in Arizona and Colorado next week, thinking about swinging down and grabbing the hood and skin from the New Mexico salvage yard, and dropping the parts in my Daughter's garage in Denver (sure she will be thrilled). Parts are super simple to install. Pick a part is 50 percent off this weekend, so I purchased and installed a temporary hood for now. Hood costs $30.
Need to install the replacement radiator, radiator fan, condenser, and bumper crash bar. Bend out the radiator support, and inner fender liners. Probably could have the car road worthy in four hours, but am not in a hurry. I was supposed to replace a 2002 F350 fuel pump this weekend, and my focus was in trying to get the bed bolts free- this project was not planned.
Later this morning will purchaser a Daytona 10 Ton Professional Hydraulic Body Repair Kit, using the 25 percent off coupon. It should greatly help in some pushing and pulling. I used the Uhaul safety chain to do basic pulling out of the bumper crash bar yesterday taking the car off the trailer. The crash bar was sitting into the condenser. It is now three inches away. I want to get the bent crash bar straightened prior to removal and replacement of the bar.
Although I am using a used radiator, radiator fan, and condesor I am struggling with this. New parts are super inexpensive for this vehicle, but I have the used parts ready to go so I will use them.
