    I see all the brackets for the front but where do I get to the rear bumper brackets ? My car is up on the hoist so I didn't look in the truck yet. I'm getting a paint job so I have to start removing stuff. Thanks Rick

    Hi Rick , The bolts to remove the bumper are in the trunk. I believe they are 3/4" heads but I don't remember so well. Eddie

    Dave I say the car was up in the air and I just thought I would ask you gurus and get a fast answer. Are we all enjoying this Hockey season ?

    Craig it's like this, I want to put on a spoiler and I have had 3 people try to match this paint. So I'm going base coat clear coat the original color and going to fix all the little stuff so it's perfect. I have played the unrestored card for 3 yrs and have a bunch of awards but I have wanted to paint it for a long time, I was going to get a Mustang fastback but nobody on ebay wanted it so it's time for paint. 14,000 miles now, I'm wearing it out:rofl2:
