That’s right Mitch, I knew that :Blush:

From my understanding all 67s got the small bumper guards. The larger overriders were optional.

Interesting bumper info. I don’t know if my bumper is original, but I have the same holes as Chuck.

Hey Chuck….did you use spacers to clear your calipers? If so, got any pics?

Mark, I used a 3/8 aluminum spacer. A friend made them for me. I will get you some pictures tomorrow. It’s still a close fit. Maybe 1/8” clearance…

Finally got an NOS GM lower valance. It fits pretty good. I really wish I would've tracked down an NOS grill and grill moldings. The grill and grill moldings are reproductions from Heartbeat City, not sure of the brand. Driver side headlight molding is an NOS GM piece and passenger side is an OER piece. I was pretty impressed with the fitment of the OER piece. The headlights are reproduction T3s and the parking lights are the originals, amazing how nice the aluminum cleaned up with a little elbow grease! The grill molding is installed to the lower valance using the correct rivet method.

The front bumper is also the original piece and was rechromed by Meclec Plating in Fresno, CA.

As with everything, the original hardware was reused even the original headlight molding screws which have a very small E on the head of each of the 6.
