    Look at "MercuryCruizer's" pictures of his Comet, "the Heartbreaker". He did the bumper tuck on it and it looks great!

    Thanks Paul. It's the 73 semi big bumper. I think it turned out pretty good....

    my front bumper is tucked in about 1.5 inches. i dont have pics of it but it looks good and clean. it does move the turn signals back into the valance so they are not as visable but i dont have a problem with where they are. i moved it by drilling new holes in the brackets.

    I did 3.5" big bumper tuck on my 74. Looks a lot better now that it did.

    I did a 2 1/2' tuck on my front. It's a 73. I didn't want to go over the marker lights.
