My wife and i can not not remember of the rubber fits. I think the groove on the rubber goes on the bumper with lots of rubber above the bumper. She thinks there is little rubber showing
Just this once… you are right and your wife is mistaken.
Don’t make a habit of it.

Tom, the large rubber section is above the bumper to seal the 1/4"+/- gap between the bumper and body. Trial fit the bumper to the body first and make all the adjustments between the 3 sections to get the best fit and use shims under the contact points with the body.
Glue the rubber on to the bumper with 3M adhesive and let it sit overnight. Use blue tape to hold it in place. The ends are the hardest to do and cut the inside of the rubber and use tape and clamps overnight.
Good luck Andy S2

Thanks. What we have found is that different supply houses have different rubber sections with the same part number. We found one that works. We now are trying to make the bend.
Our garage is not heated and outside temperatures have dropped to near freezing so the restoration is over for the year. The garage stays above freezing most of the year
You have a nice looking car
