Question for you gurus out there...
My recently purchased LE has the "lip" running across the front edge that I thought was only on the '75-'76 to help hold the big bumpers. Also, as you can see in one of the pics, the hole for the late model bumper shocks is there but so are the early bumper mount holes (of course, since that is the bumper that is on it) Did they set up the front for both style of bumpers as a transition or ??? The bumper top was not covering the "lip"... should I remove that piece? Thanks.

QUOTE(poorsche914 @ May 17 2010, 07:38 PM)  And upon further inspection, the driver quarter panel has been replaced as well. No seam sealer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It might not have. Some areas didn't have it. Where your pics show seam sealer there shouldn't be any. I marked up a picture of mine. No seam sealer there. Mine was hit too though. Note the late headlight bucket and cheesey weld. I didn't know it until I noticed the two buckets were different heights. Attached thumbnail(s)

I will take pics tomorrow. Passenger fender underneath has seam sealer and appears factory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) whereas the driver side has NO sealer and the fit is not exact at the leading edge of the door. Didn't look closely at the headlight buckets.
