Stupid question
Does anyone have a picture of what the metal support that goes under the front spoiler on an 80-82 is supposed to look like? Mine's been cut off and re-welded back on a couple of times by various bubbas and at this point, I've got no CLUE where it's actually supposed to be or what it's supposed to look like.

My 82 is handy on the lift so we can search around a bit, but I can't see what you are looking for. The air dam is the spoiler you are talking about? Mine is bolted to some unaccesable member above a rubberized shield. I can send you some pics I took from under, but they don't show much. Glad to dig around a bit if I had more info. Craig

Here are a few shots from under. Is this what you need to find out how to mount? http://community.webshots.com/myphot...ecurity=EdsURG

Ah ha! That's it. Mine is close to that in position, but I'm not sure it's low enough anymore. The rubber part is long gone on my car and the air dam has a big assed hole in the front. I wanted to make sure where to put the proper support before replacing the dam this summer.
Thanks!

I got the same problem on mine, all pushed up in the middle, was like that when I got it. When I get it all straightned out I was thinking about putting a limit switch unert there with a wire arm sticking out to touch parking curbs and the like, it would turn on a light and/or buzzer on the dash to say STOP!
