Reply to "Custom shortened, correctly angled front L bumper?"

Riley, a bonus: fiberglas front bumpers do not use the stock hydraulic impact mounts, so they can be removed and you replace one of them with a custom welded tube of the same design. The new welded tube then can function as a tow fastener using a welded nut inside the new tube and a removable eyebolt thru the fiberglas bumper. A hardware store plastic plug closes the needed hole in the bumper for the eyebolt when not in use. No a-arm damage or valence contact damage when towing or loading.

And backing up the decorative-only fiberglas 'bumper' with a 1/4" or 3/8" thick steel strap underneath restores some of the stock L bumper's original function if desired. Note- Kirk Evan's Amerisport was not the only shop that sold fiberglas replicas in the '80s-90s so I'm not surprised there are sometimes fitment issues.
