Default 1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard

It would appear something was hacked into the bumper mounts (both sides) with a nut welded to the frame. Perhaps some sort of home built tow bar ?

The lower slot was hacked open to clear behind the welded nut. Another Green Bastard repair issue.
