Thanks for the call and input yesterday. I hit the frame horn with some flat black and am letting it dry. I'm not optimistic looking at the area. On the underside of the bumper where contact is made with the frame rails, there is a 1-2mm deposit of pitted, crystallized rust.

On a semi-productive note, I did a little exploratory work on the passenger door area and found the edge of the dog dish. It was under about 9mm of filler and had been welded over. About then, my cordless tool ran out of juice. I'll return to the area with a respirator, grinder and flap wheel and lose 30 pounds of filler.
