    I remember these cars with no bumpers and I thought they looked cool without them, but there's something missing, maybe filling the valance panel would complete the look. :tiphat:

    hmmmm, to do what bryant is saying you could get a second grill with no blinker slots and fit it under the top one. hook the two together to look like one then get the actual camaro or VW halfies and bolt them on.... i dunno though, still like it with a bumper better. BTW the first pics with a green one has fiberglass versions of both bumpers in place not deleted. they are just tucked and glassed in. it looks ok but i would have done the front just a little different..

    302mav76...those pictures are exactly what I needed to see. Completed cars without the bumpers.

    I agree, there is just too much to see when the bumpers are off without filling in some of that space.

    I guess I will just leave them on for now.

    Mine doesnt have a front bumper yet.

    Some people have issues with the way my front end looks. I could be happy with just a black screen in the lower area to fill it in. I got a bumper that I am in the process of straightening. I will most likely put that on this winter once it get slick out! :cry:

    By the way I have found a parts car north of Dayton Ohio it a 71 I think I6 But a great interior and many other good little parts it sat forever just has a ton of surface rust, it may even be rust colored! I should get it next month or so if any one needs anything.

    here's the rear end of a 71 without a bumper. the front doesn't have fenders on yet so it looks silly either way.
