Default Need help-rear spoiler install

I am in need of some help please.

I bought a used '78 Pace car spoiler. I have a '78 non-pace car. How does the spoiler attach?

The spoiler has the studs on the bottom of it, but how do I attach it to the car? Do I need to remove the rear bumper/light assembly or do I install the nuts from the inside of the car? Do I need to also install double sided tape or any other items to make it fit properly?

HELP!!!

I am at a total loss here. I am not a bodyman and the guy that is going to paint it hasn't installed one before. I am starting to wonder if it is even worth it now.

Any pics or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lance

Lance - here is some info from Willcox website HERE.

It is a matter of drilling 6 holes across the top and one on each side. I think it can be done without removing anything. I'll send pictures of the holes on my 78 and measurements hole to hole. You can also use the spoiler to make a template.

Drill holes and install nuts from underneath car. You can lay under the car and reach up between the gas tank and rear bumper to install the nuts.

A helper will come in handy.

Hard part is locating the spots to drill the holes.

no tape or glue needed
