coupe crunch update

[Huw Powell <human@nh.ultranet.com>]

Go the machine back from Ed Byrnes today.  $480 got me the frame
straightened, a new right hood release bit of sheet metal and a new
center post bit of sheet metal.  Nice job boyz.  They even rewelded my
headlight bracket where it attached to that right side hood support.

So 4 hours later I have painted my spare bumper, mounted the PIAAs, put
my side signals in the little bits of sheet metal where the headlight
trim reflectors used to be, and I'm pretty much back in business. 
Whoopee!

Now to throw on the 15" wheels, 215-45/15 tires, and the "new" subframe
and control arms and get an alignment.

Anyone know where I can get an unbent used panhard rod for this thing
(82 coupe) so I can get the rear axle stuff powder coated too?

I have fingured out how to tighten my alternator belt properly, too. 
First you remove the bumper...

bye bye now
