My 75 Finally Gets The Attention It Deserves(This Could Take a While)

Dang, why do you have to be on the other side of the country. A body shop is going to charge a fortune. Might be money ahead getting a welder and a bunch of scrap metal pieces and get practicing. If I can do it, anyone can, because I am probably the last person on the planet who should be welding LOL
I appreciate your concern, Princess, but after all of this delay I'm now up against a clock. This project needs to move along quickly at this point and I have a great deal of respect for the guy that'll be doing the body work and the guy that'll be doing the painting. My Intrepid got rear ended hard early last year and the work they did was excellent, so since the funds are available I don't mind spending a bit to bring my Duster back to life. I've owned this car for forty two years so it deserves a little extravagance.

In other news I was shocked to find two new old stock bumper mounting bolts like the one I broke listed on eBay. It's amazing what you can find when you know the part number. Now if there were someplace I could send those four giant bumper shocks for overhaul I'd be really happy.
