Couple of updates, since I had a little time today I pulled the front bumper and grill off the bus and am planning on getting them powder coated. On with the pictures:
Just a pic of the OG Kansas Beige underneath the weak maroon respray, which I really want to go back to some day. Got some great advice from Samba member Kirk about using Easy-Off to try and uncover the OG paint:
Here's the bracket I cut out of a late bay and had a couple of support brackets fabricated up to attach it to the bus. My thought here is that I wanted to use an original mount, but wanted it to be semi-permanent, just in case I (or the next owner) ever need or wanted to go back to the original motor that came in the bus in 1972. It should bolt in easily and hold the weight of the air box for the 1977 2.0L I am installing. In the end it will be cleaned up, holes drilled for bolts, painted black and bolted into the bus to hold the air box:
This is the bumper, bumper brackets, bolts and front grill to be sent to the powder coater later this week - I think I will match the grill to the bumper, so they will be matched as best as I can to the original color of the bumper. Later I will send the rear bumper and misc. parts and wheels:
The debris screen has been cleaned up, and it's in really good shape with only a couple of small cracks that I should be able to super glue. The chrome deluxe trim will be hand polished back to life, the best I can get it:

Parts came back from powder coating:
It's gotta start to get warm, I want to get some progress done.
