I just installed both flex covers from Ecklers and I am happy with their fit and quality. I had a new toledo pro flex cover that kept cracking and they replaced it and it cracked thats why I went with Ecklers.

I REPLACED MY REAR WITH A FLEx FIT I PURCHASED FROM EBAY. NEEDED A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO FIT WELL. DIDNT NEED ANY PREP IT WAS SMOOTH. OVERALL VERY HAPPY. JUST A NOTE YOU HAVE TO REMOVE 4 METAL BUMPERS AND LIGHT BUCKETS FOR THESE TO FIT. YOU CAN ALSO USE BOLTS WITH WASHERS IF YOUR BOLT STRIPS ARE RUSTED AWAY.

I have a rigid fiberglass bumper cover in front and flex glass cover in back, both from Ecklers. No problem with either in the 4-5 years they've on, and mine are mounted seamless. I don't know for sure, but I'd think any problem with the covers would would show up early with a seamless mount.

I used the flexible fiberglass bumpers from Mid America Motorworks. I put them on a 1977 and they fit really well. Alot better than the original urethane bumpers.

jbaron,
Where did you get the flex front for your 74? You said yours fit great...that's my next project and I don't like problems. Was it a good price? Is there anything I should be thinking about before I tackle this project?
Thanks
Mike
