Brace yourselves...
Sunday was one of those days that you dream about. It was the middle day of the 3-day Labor Day weekend, there weren't any home chores to do and the weather was perfect. The day started with finishing the welding and grinding on the front bumper adapter brackets.
Then I mounted the brackets onto the Prius V Chassis in place of the cardboard mock-ups that had been there. These brackets simulate the ends of the former frame on the original Firebird chassis.
Then I mounted the Firebird radiator support to the brackets. (It is the part that holds the front of the fenders in place, and where the hood latch parts are mounted.)
Next I mounted the original Firebird front bumper brackets to the new adapter brackets.
And finally, I mounted the Firebird front bumper assembly onto the Prius v chassis.
It was an EXCELLENT DAY!!!
