well, I broke down today and ordered the Renegade Hybrids radiator and hose kit, so now I'll have to cut a hole in my front '74 chrome bumper to get some air into the front trunk.....
sawzall seems like it would be too ragged and I don't think my air nibbler would be able to cut the metal due to it being too think |

The fiberglass bumpers on the market today take alot of work to try and fit. I would cut my opening in the wall area behind the bumper a little larger and then just cut the front lower valance, leaving the bumper as is.
I have done alot of research on this and this is the way I will go with JLO. CCLINGOWITHTHEFLOW |
