Default Front honeycomb

Can anyone tell me how to remove the front honeycomb bumper support on the front of my 78? I can't seem to get it off of the car.

Have you checked the AIM? The honeycomb bolted up on my 80. I'm betting 78 is similar.

It is pretty easy. After removing the air dam and the lower valance, remove the bumper cover.

You then have to remove the 2 bolts (one on each end). There are then a few bolts that have to be removed from underneath. There are four total (2 on each side) and then a few in the middle that hold the bumper support. There are 3 nuts that need to come off in the center as well.

When I get home, I can pull out my books and send ya some pics if ya want....took me about 20 minutes after i had the bumper cover off.
