I was able to locate "dimples" to be able to drill holes for bolts for front exchange. I am NOT able to find any reference dimples for the rear bumper bolt holes. Can some take some measurements inside the rear trunk of a Pre big ole rubber bumper model for the upper bolt hole, please? Thanks

Thanks so much for the direction to the thread. If you discover anything new about the backdating, please post; I'm getting ready to backdate my '75 too. One question I have is whether the backdated bumpers will still fit properly IF the clips on the fenders are NOT removed ?? Attached image(s) |

Surprised to hear that - I think yours might be the best looking late-bumper car on the board. Didn't it come up for COTM voting recently? IMHO, I think the body-colored valances as you have them look "right" on a big-bumper car and might not work as well on an early-bumper car. |
