Does anyone know, or better yet have a graphic with dimensions for the front bumper/valance opening(s) for the GT oil cooler inlet?
I'm thinking about attempting this mod on an extra bumper/val that I have, to feed air to an A/C condenser on a /4. Items would be painted black so doesn't have to be perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |

The correct opening is 19-3/4” with 1/2” radius. I have done hundred of bumpers and have a fixture and am always surprised by the DIY on this. It took a while to get good at it.
I reluctantly just did a lower valance for a client /member here but the hours involved are insane and even for what I charge it’s not a break even. |

It was a nightmare at times. If I could afford to have you do it I would have. Yes the thin metal of the valance tested my welding…And my patience. But at the time with my wife not well it was a distraction I needed.  |

I should charge 1k to do the lower valance as it’s such a PIA. |
