What is the correct name for the front panel between the headlights? I've tried several searches and can't really turn this up.
My question is: Can someone point me to a link where the removal of this entire piece is detailed? I'm replacing one headlight bucket and the entire nose panel if needed and I'd like to see how that comes apart if possible. Thanks! |

There is some photos here. I think start on page 2.

First of all, thank all of you guys for your responses and info. I'm about to fix concealed crash damage that I knew had been lurking...waiting for me. Virtually all of the rust repair is finished on the car now and I'm going to attack the front end.

Otherwise your aligning too many parts without factory jigs to hold the pieces. This car has damage that reminds me of the Alien Baby of Rick's. Maybe not so extensive but the PS fender is bent outwards. There's a very defined bend in the weather stripping channel which I'll show in the pics below. Also, the hit seems to have been at the PS headlight bucket. You can see somebody pounded it back out to usable shape but there are kinks and tears in the area...Oh, and a ton of filler on the outside of the fender. Rick, I know you said it's best to leave the bucket in place but this one is pretty damaged. Is the drain tube welded into the trunk floor where it passes through? Am I OK to cut the nose out so It's easier to remove the remnants attached by spot welds? I guess what I'm asking is will the fenders "stay put" without the front panel connecting them? |
