Nice!!! Can I send mine over for the same treatment?

good job Rock! that looks great. Ain't it amazing what a difference that makes in the handling? I dumped my rubber bumpers also.

Unfortunatly I havent had the time to drive it yet with these lighter bumpers Curt. IPB Image A little work was required to remove the drip rail and the side tangs, otherwise not too much trouble.

Where did you get your information on how to do the retro fit?? Very nice looking car how long have you owned it and where did you obtain from?
Do you know Pat Worrell in Gig Harbor? He has the yellow 75 914-8.
Goo dluck on gettin grid of the big black bumpers, I have four pair of them that I have removed and I can't give them away. Hey maybe raffle prizes for the WCC 2005 in Camarillo.

send em to me, i could use a spare. and i dont see why people complain about the bumpers just pull the metal out, cut it down some. my car personally is a daily driver and i want the protection

if some one is sending to me find the cheapest shipping to 21224

thanks

Looks great IPB Image

Looks great , nice car BTY. If Someone is going to do FB bumpers, that upper drip rail supports the upper edge of the FB perfectly.
You will feel the difference.
My bumpers off of my 76 went to the transfer station(dump) IPB Image

what a gorgeous car!

You all are too kind. IPB Image
Scott, maybe someone on the east coast has some they would be willing to give up. Shipping these anchors that far could be spendy.

Beautiful Car. Looks much better with early-style chrome bumpers IMHO. IPB Image

Great Job Tim. I remember when you were talking about it. I'll swing by when I get my probs sorted out. I still have your manifolds.
