Can anyone please supply instructions or pictures showing installation of the bumper to body filler panels for a 71 chrome front bumper?

Thanks!

I would like to see that too!

I'll go down to the garage and take a few pics. Be back in a few...

Allright, here we go:

This is how they look when installed. (Also you see the battle scars on my car when I take a close up...   )





Here is how they attach on the inside. Note, although the other two pictures show the driver side, this is the passenger side. It was easier to access with the camera. 

They come with a bracket that sandwiches the rubber part in between itself and the front edge of the fender. The fender should have two holes there to attach it to unless they have been filled when bodywork was done. That's what happened to mine as you can see it has only the bottom screw there to hold it in place. I couldn't easily access the upper part to drill a new hole so I decided to leave it as is as it holds fine. 



There is a third screw which goes straight through the rubber with no bracket into the fender extension if I remember correctly. It's been a while since I installed them and I don't remember exactly but I think it's about where I put the red mark on the picture.

Oh, I forgot: Never mind the yellow! It's a chrome bumper that I painted yellow, not a urethane one!!! It's the one you see in my signature pic below this post.

Thanks for the detailed pics!!

Anytime!

Anytime!

Yeah thanks. Now by looking at this I'm unsure if I want to install them, too visible in my opinion!

In fact they are hardly visible from a few feet away. Remember that this is a close up picture. I like that the gap in between the bumper and fender is gone but the fillers don't stand out. It only looks more finished.

I wonder what that would like like with a chrome bumper ?

The same, only shinyer.

This is a painted chrome bumper so the fit is the same.
