Hello!
Trying to get down to metal this summer. The bumpers are off and I wanted to know what these ones are called. Having hard time finding info online. Especially for the front bumper.
Just curious. The plan is to back date.
Also I want to see if I can find a new home for these bumpers. Is there anyone out there that needs 1976 bumpers?. You can have them for free. Or at least barter with some advice for this ongoing project. I’m not sure if these are able to be shipped because I could barely pick them up.
Also I won’t be meeting this drip pan for this car anymore.
Here are some photographs:

Thanks for all your advice yes holding onto the rain tray and searching for a dumpster big enough for these bumpers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Francis,
First off all, great work on the video. I would just dumpster the bumpers. First of all, that front bumper is someone’s custom work and looks ‘odd’ nobody will want it even free.
My “Big Ugly Bumpers” or BUB’s as we call them we’re perfect and I did sell them for $200 to a purist in Southern California. The shipping was going to be more than $200 so we arranged a shuttle of 914 guys to get them from Tahoe to SoCal. Your rear bumper with that paint isn’t going to find a new home that isn’t a dumpster.
Here is a picture of my car the day it came home in 2002 and had just cleaned it up. This is what the BUB’s should look like. The other picture is what they look like backdated. Which isn’t a heck of a lot of work.
