only the drivers side.... i believe they call it the horn?? its not to bad and looks worse in the picture then it really is. I am going to put a little pressure on it and heat it up. Then i have to see if i can buy just the frame ends where the bumper bolts on and weld them on- if not off to the machine shop and ill make some new ones along with the brackets for my body lift.

You can buy the bumper horns from Ford. Cut off the old one weld on the new one. Cake.
Looks like your aprons ( side panels ) are gonna need a little tlc.
Looks good man, you are comming along just fine.
Great idea to show some love to the front of your engine. As long as you have it all apart you might as well.
Good job man.

I can look in my crash book tomorrow and come back and tell you tomorrow evening.
I can tell you, it is in millimeters though.

From the very back fender bolt hole, diagonal across the engin bay to the very front fender bolt hole will be 1510 mm. Both directions.
Front fender bolt hole left to front fender bolt hole right 1376 mm
With the Ford you can probabally fuge 2mm at most, if you are doing it, it might as well be right.
