So starting in on the mustang first project up (starting small) is to replace the current bumper with a correct one. So I was able to remove the current bumper and found that the bumper brackets (bumper to car) had a nice layer of rust on it. The bolts that I attached it were in rough shape as well, had to cut them off.. So I have 2 question and 1 poll...
Question - any idea where I can get a set of 4 new bolts are the special sizes or specs? Want to use the right ones the prior owner didn't.
Question - I ordered the new bumper from CJ and they suggested I order new bumper pads. I didn't see anything like this come over the old bumper, Where do they go?

Poll Question - Now I have the rust to blast off.. So it is a great reason to get a compressor and blaster (I think.) I'm reading soda blasting is a good way to go as it can take on the rust and also help out on some of the chrome pieces. A little less abrasive. So what do you guys think? Soda blasting or sand blasting?
