welding in new metal

i think it looks good this way
I like it too. Once I get it blasted and can tell what really needs to be done, I might remove mine too if it looks like the rust has eaten up the weld for the drip rail. Yours reminds me I really need to work on my rock guard ( valance ).

1972 F250 Hood Bumper

Would you happen to have a photo or 2 of how your hood bumpers are mounted to the hood? Sure would appreciate it. I have a 72 Camper Special I am trying to finish up and am down to a few small things

Thanks

I don't have any pictures but I can tell you that the push bumpers on mine use the same bolts that mount the bumper to the frame.

Thanks again for your service "Spider Man"... lucky you weren't working in a Nuke plant... I just killed a 'Camel spider' which is reported to have a bite more painful than child birth.... been there, never done it.. so I cannot vouch for sure...
