Pic Without Bumper Cover Needed.
Anyone have a pic of what the front end looks like without the bumper cover attached? I've see a bare frame, but am wondering what it looks like with the fenders and rad support still on.
I am going to need to remove my front frame extension at some point, and I'm wondering what it all looks like under there.
Thanks.

Mine is an '81, but the structure is similar, though not identical, on the 73's and later, I think.
I found this thread in a search, and it's as good as I'm likely to get.
On the '80-82's the extension hangs way down, and the previous owner hit a curb or something hard enough to bend the bottom of it back along with the center attachment point for the air dam. I'm looking to see what all you have to get out of the way to drop the extension off the car to either repair or replace.

Crawled back under there last night, and I'm thinking that it is not bent so bad that it could not be straightened out easily by a shop with a frame puller. I'd be tempted to try it with a porta-power thing myself if I had anything to anchor the other end on. And to clarify, it looks like only the air deflector doohickey actually attaches in the center (along with the vacuum can, which is getting the heave-ho), the bumper cover itself does not attach in the middle.
