With the help of CT I was able to get the front close to fully assembled. He still has some fitment work on the outer headlamp surrounds. The fitment between the aftermarket headlamp assembly and OEM surrounds will need a lil more work but close.
But----SHINEY!

Me and CT just had to take a moment and sit back and go "wow". With the new chrome and front on it really makes it!!! The front origional bumper was bent and so was the mounts. I had to rework the passenger main braket and the drivers outer bracket (goes from the bumper to the fender). The cross supports are WAY off and I will have to make new footings and cut them down to get the right fit. I have to still adjust the bumper as it's still off to one side...
But there ya have it so far--I am tickled pink and my dad is going to LOVE it...
The flash made the paint look yellow,lol.

So after work I headed up to Ct's with trailer in tow. While he was at work I cleaned up a few things, got the car ready and odds/end loaded into the dodge (gotta love how when you give respect and trust it comes back to ya).
So once he got home and Don also showed to help I got the car loaded onto the trailer. Oh and I was able to get it to start up and drove it on.
The hour drive home was probably one of my most nervous drives ever--one eye on the road and one in the side mirror (Don was right behind me all the way). But I took it slow and made it home.
So off the trailer and into the shop!!!!!
Time to go back into overdrive from me again!

It looks like you're missing a piece that goes under the grill and behind the top of the front bumper. No idea what it's called. Something isn't right with the way it fits, you shouldn't see those gaps in the lower valance.

Been trying to find the part I'm talking about but no luck so far. I noticed in the pics of when you first got the car that it was missing also.
I'll keep looking and post up a pic when I find one. Hopefully someone else will chime in and can tell us what piece it is.
Could be called an upper valance I suppose, but only been able to find the lower ones.
