Default 1980 Front End Pic

Well, it took me a few months to realize the spoilers are missing form the front of my 80 Vette. The Air Baffle is there and I've looked at the AIM until my eyes are crossed and just can't see what it's "supposed" to look like under there.

I see some picks where the fiberglass baffle is raised in the middle (I believe mine is raised an extreme amount) and in some pics it appears to be straight across with the black spoilers bolted to the bottom.

Can someone take me a low frontal shot of what it's supposed to look like under there. I'm pretty sure the support needs bent back down a little but I'm not sure how much.

Thanks, Mike

Thanks Mike,

I saw that pic in a forum search. I can't quite tell if the bottom of the Air Dam straight across and parallel to the floor. Mine appears to be angled up in the middle.

they should be straight across. if they're angled up, the front support is bent.
