    With the skills you have, I would rethink the side marker lights. Maybe a small round one relocated so the bumper will look right when it turns the corner...

    Just my 2 cents :)

    Good job... A new twist on a old problem..............

    The bumper will probly come forward a hair and level up.

    Can someone give me the length from the leading edge of the marker light to the end of a small bumper on a stock 70-72?
