I spent a few hours on the 55 today, I removed the bumper,grill, and mangled lower splash on the car all while getting soaked in the melting snow.

Luckily, the Bumper is not twisted as it appeared on the car. Unfortunaly, when they banged the front quarter panel, they put a minor twist in the frame extension that will have to be fixed. This twist shoved the bumper out of place.

I bent back alot of the twisted inside fender parts that was keeping the turn signal pocket and front fender bent out.

I will remove the turn signal pocket, and straighten the rest of the sheet metal, and it will be pretty close. The Reynolds Wrap will cover any repairs.

I figured for now, I will do this slight repair and the lower quarter rust spot rather than replacing the entire fender for now and messing with trying to match a large portion of paint.
