As it turns out, the fiberglass turtle deck is just a little out of square. Not visible to the naked eye, the rear of it is shifted almost 3/8" to the right.This makes it necessary to shift the bumper mounts on the frame so that they align with the holes in the body. Having the mounts together as one piece made that relatively easy. I couldn't get a good pic of the mount attached to the frame, but it is simply welded to the rear crossmember.
The pics below show the bumper in place before and after I mounted the '48 Ford taillights. All that remains to finish the bumper is to weld in the mounts for the license plate and add a tag light.Jim
