Is this the front or rear panel? I assume you mean the piece between the bumper and the body?

Hi John I see you have asked the same question on my post " how do I save this" let me know if you find one as that is the reason I spent all the time re building what I had . As I couldn't find one when I started to rebuild mine . If you go through that post I do believe another member said the was one out P.E.I. Canada way and there is a fiberglass shop in Ontario Canada that advertises them can't remember there name (anybody?) In all honesty good luck and if you do find one let us all know as I am sure we are not the only one's that could use it . I am still completing on making a mold of mine but mine is not perfect.

I am trying to look the part numbers up for these. Is this made up of 3 pieces, 2 small ones on the bumper corners and one in the middle? I seem to see 2 corner pieces in my manual along with a valence. I am assuming the valence goes on the bottom of the bumper but I can't really tell from my pic.

stupid question;
is this a hatchback or a coupe?
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

im the guy that found the formula sunbird in the wrecking yard in nova scotia. when i was there i bought the complete rear spoiler and the tail lights from the car to save them from the crusher knowing someone would want them one day! i had told len about the tail light panel, if i had only known he needed one while i was there i would have brought that back as well :( i cant remember if the bumper was still on the car or not or if the filler panel was still there. ill see if i can scare up the phone number so you can call, not shure if he would ship or not, just a small yard out in the middle of nowhere in the countryside no internet i know of. did have a few h bodys tho, pretty well rusted to crap.
