: Oh man it's easy for any early 1500
: model! I have a '74 model so from
: experience I can tell you this... All
: you have to do for the front is remove
: the guards; they might be troublesome
: due to the bolts and inner receiver
: rusting on so cutting them (the bolts
: or the guard)at that point is an
: option. Then remove the large boiler
: plate that is bolted to the hinge box
: behind where the guard use to be. By
: removing these bolts the front bonnet
: will be momentarily disconnected so
: mark the position of these bolts so the
: front bonnet alignment is not
: disrupted. You also remove the little
: over rider alignment plates behind the
: horns on the front as these will no
: longer be needed. When you get a pair
: of the earlier underriders (european
: version) the fiber glass or the better
: original plastic, be sure to bend up
: the tab that was flattened on the your
: car to accept the USA guards, it's just
: underneath the hinge box itself. The
: grill will then interlock with the
: smaller overriders as it was designed
: for. The rear is even easier, just
: remove the bumper guards and the guard
: brackets by unbolting the bumper and
: removing the brackets behind it and
: underneath, that's it! -Steve

: Hey will the front black frame/bumper
