I am getting ready to assemble the front end of my '67 bird. I have everything painted and ready to install.
Does anyone have any pictures that may assist with this procedure? Any info and/or pictures would be great as I want to make sure I have everything put together properly.
I checked the firstgensite, and it helped some but the pictures are so small and the exploded views are hard to see.
My main concern is with the bumper brackets, hanging the grills, bumper, headlight assemblies (and how they mount to the bumper brackets), nose panel, etc.
https://firstgenfirebird.org/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/166031/1.html I found this when I searched. maybe it will help some. I used some other pictures to assemble my bumper from this site, but now I cant seem to locate the same pic's. I still have not bolted my bumper to the car yet so I would also appreciate any pic's that might be posted.
Thanks Nick

How is this for starters? I have more, just let me know what area you might need detail on.
Thanks to both of you! I think this will help me out a great deal! I believe I will need to take off my lower valance and fender extensions to bolt up this assmbly, correct? Any tips on how to start this process, as far as what goes together first, etc.?
It is much easier to install the bumper, grilles, lights, frame forks, etc. all together first, and then mount the whole thing to the frame. (just like Doug's picture)
I tried to mount the bumper last, and that was no treat! (I wouldn't recommend it)
