check the "80 corvette" link under my member handle. small back story there. the nose trim and rear bumperettes I fabed from the old 5 mph bumpers of the Jag in "my garage". I deleted the 5 mph bumpers up front and the license plate surround. '79 front end, no cow catcher. "that's funny, does not look like an '80 to me"
thanks, that's exactly what I was looking to do. color is ontario orange firemist a very popular '72 color introduced on '50s Caddies. Really pops in the sun.

I think the rear would have looked better with the add on chrome if you had a 79 turn down bumper instead of the turn up spoiler bumper jmo I like the front though tgat color is sweet

That's pretty neat. For a while now I have thought that some people might be interested in aftermarket front and rear rubber car bumper covers that would use chrome bumpers to give the 68-72 look.
