I used just some regular hardware, like 3/4" long bolt and some flat washers, and a nut.

Fog lights ordered, ordering brackets in a day or two here.

Painting commences in a day or two when I get off my butt. The paint and supplies are sitting in the truck. Also have some plastic weld epoxy to fix the crack and broken off tab. I still need to fabricate something to put it place to hold it up.

well... I couldn't find any fiberglass, I don't know how to do it, and there isnt much pressure that will be placed on the crack when the bolt holds it flush.

As soon as I get out of class, I'm dropping the valance.

Brackets come next week, I spent my last $50 on the plane. I now have to learn to divide my love
