Default Bumper filler panel
Hi folks, I have to replace my bumper filler panel on my 74 trans am. What do I have to look forward to in taking off the bumper. Missed placed my body book and can't find any posts on the matter. Any short cuts or just a lot of cussing. Thanks

Take your time. If it gets frustrating stop ,back up take a break.Been there. I bought nos piece,buddy painted it,installed. After about 15 yrs it's starting to crack. So I'm not sure what next to install. I guess the material cracks after aging.

Yep - same deal here. Found a NOS one not long after I bought my T/A and stowed it away while I did the restoration. I finally reached the point 3 or 4 years later when I needed to use the filler panel. It literally disintegrated in my hands when I pulled it out of the box. Ended up buying a repro one.
