Very Happy. I do have that sticker in my hood I don't know if it had a pigs nose what do you mean by that?

I know its a pos. Did you notice how much bondo they used. And that's why the doesn't hold down too its crooked.
And was it a nice looking thing back then. I alone have one pic of it in its pride. And that's of the rear. Btw I brought it from a guy named dennis mcguine or something.

So back to my problem what's the best way to remove those brackets?
