    Just FYI in case you didn't know: In order to change to the small bumper on your 1973, you will need to also change the lower valance, the center support, and the bumper brackets. The stone guard is also different, but you could use the 1973 stone guard if you cut it down.

    When i changed to a small front bumper on my orange 73. I notched the gravel guard to fit around the fenders. That way i could use all the other stock pieces.

    where u been ward? hadnt seen you on here in a few days..im counting about 7 mavs/comets in about a 5 mile radius just off the top of my head. the 1/4s arent in too bad a shape i think were gonna try to fix them(this is a low buck resto, not a typical hahn car), but if you just want to send them to me thats cool
