Bad news on the cruiser
It's missing just about every piece of plastic underneath except the tiny air deflector that runs across the bottom of the radiator. I thought it looked like there was supposed to be something down there. I had assumed it was a "decontent" on Ford's end of things. I'm going to check the junkyard, but I'm not holding my breath. These are pieces that usually people either don't know/care about or throw away to make maintenance easier.
I think it's within my abilities to smooth out the area from the bumper to just in front of the sway bar. I would like to do something with the grille. Too bad all of my Coroplast is white. So is my aluminum trim coil. Maybe it's time for cardboard and cut up trash bags?
I will start a build thread once I actually get started.
