Hi Mike. Yes from what I’m told it sat over 3 years under a tree in Ohio . I picked it up from a guy in Phoenix . I picked it because of the color he had a blue one and a brown one both from the same place . He wanted $7500 for the pair , I got him to sell me one .

What did you use for the c channel job? Is that a kit?

No kit , I had mechanic ripped 3 1/2 in. square tubing in half and made them 30 inches long to go all the way back to the bumper . The kit looked to be only about 21 inches but pre drilled and easier to install .
You are well on your way to bringing her back to life!
