Default 1984 front end

i just purchased a 1984 vette that had the front bumper removed all the way to the front cross member. Is there any detailed instructions out there that can help me put it back together with new parts. I am basically looking at putting on the whole front end. Any help would be appreciated.

Put all your lights and trim on ahead of time. Then it just slides on. If you are getting a used bumper you may want to look at my web site below to see what I did to make the bumper flat. When you go to put all the bolts on, put them ALL in hand tight, then sock them up as you adjust. The best way to tighten up the parameter bolts around the top edge (without removing the hood) is with a ratchet wrench (not a socket wrench). Also around the sides inside near the canister purge container (and the adjacent side), make sure you tuck that in correctly before you tighten everything up or it won't line up with the other body parts.
