Rear Bumpers
Will the 80-82 rear fit a 76. I have seen what appears to be about an 80-82 rear cover with the spoiler lip on a 76. Or is it custom?

You can get aftermarket bumpers to fit the 76,which look like the 82.
I think Ecklers have them.

The replacement '80-'82 fiberglass rear bumper cover will fit on your '76 with some minor modifications. ACI is a good source for a quality part.

I have ACI front and back. Seems to be great quality. I still have to build up the sides though to get them to match the body.

Well there goes that idea.
Plenty have been modded with the later bumpers. I took this pic at a local show Saturday. It's a '76, sorry I didn't get a shot from the rear.
I contemplated it on mine, but I really didn't want a significant change in appearance - so stock replacements for me. But if you like it, go for it!
