 |

Hoping that someone can help me out with the measures between the front bumper, nose and the L or R fender. Its a 73 and believe that year or 74 are the same. I have ample room for the turn signal in the vertical.
This mocked up at 22mm from the nose
13 mm off the fenders

looks good to me. Even on both sides and not touching in the middle. I fitted a fiberglass bumper to my '72 and that's what I went by. Remember these cars where handmade on the assembly line.

Thanks runamoc, think I'll go with what I have too. The signals fit, its symetrical etc. Im fabricating the bumper mounts today and want to get back dealing with those nose dents asap. Have Danny Gabbards dent tool and very curious.
