Yeah the bumpers on my 64 are in pretty good shape with only some minor piting on them. I will try to give them a good polish when I get around to removing them prior to paint (hopefully this year) .
The headlight bezels on mine were trashed though, I had to use "Liquid Steal" and bondo to smooth out all the damage and painted them with aluminum paint and clearcoat.
Sorry I didnt post any after pics.
Good luck on your 65' keep plugging away at it and youll be daily driving it in no time.
Great Idea btw on the lug removal. I was able to have the shop that sold me the tires punch my left hand turn lugs (rear only) out for free since I bought my tires from them. I got lucky there I guess.
