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! |

That's kinda bad but not really. I meant to leave the headlight bucket attached to the front panel. As in Replace the bucket and front panel as one piece. It's much harder to replace the bucket then the front panel and get everything aligned. Check out post # 22 in the thread I posted. The right side is not trimmed yet. Look at the left side and you can see where I have it trimmed to replace the front panel. I included the reinforcement as well as the bucket. It goes together very nicely this way.I would also remove that fender and get a used one. There is far too much damage under all that filler. You will have a lot of time trimming used parts but sometimes it takes what it takes.
My advise, Buy a parts car for the front clip. Lots of cars out there with hell holes that are gone but good clips yet for parts. I don't have any spare fenders. I committed to a repair of a factory 6 that needs the only spares I have left. |
