My 1970 Corvette Stingray Coupe
Bought from a junk yard and restored over 18 months
 

 
 

May 2010:
Putting the Front Bumper and Grilles on !
I wanted to the do the Front bumper last, since it was like the Pièce de résistance of the entire car.. and believe you me, All the parts of the Front grille were a bloody mess. I've bought a new front chrome bumper, because the old one was rusted and dinged and scraped and there was even green fuckin overspray on it ! (from god knows where)

   
   
   
I had to powdercoat the eggcrate front grilles and I sprayed the center grille insert silver.
I even bought brand new center grille pillars, so of a total of 8 parts, 5 are brand new.

Here are some nice shots.
Before / After of the Front of the car and individual components. Notice how the old Pillars and the old Bumper are completely rusted through. Got NEW ones.
