More nose rack fun

Today I focused on finishing up the nose rack. I added brackets to the left and right front of the rack to attach it to bolts coming down from the cross member just behind the bumper. These had to be narrow enough to allow the rack to be slid in place but wide enough to hold a 3/8" nut and secure the rack.
The rear of the rack almost lined up with two holes in the frame rail. I angled two 6" long "L" scrap to the rear corners of the rack. It's a little tricky to get it in place as these brackets hit the headlight mechanism as the rack is slid into place. After a lot of wiggling and "finessing" it goes in.
