Is it possible to install an early bumper on a 1976? If so how is it done?

I believe Paul means "rubber dog-bones", which go between the metal bumper and the car's body.
You also need to grind off the tabs on the side of the car that hold the ends of the bumper cover, and shorten the front lip of the front trunk's seal channel. That serves as a lip to hold the top of the bumper cover. Remember to paint any bare metal... --DD |
