Hi there,

I'm throwing a few new pieces on the 68 as I prep it for sale. I removed the front bumper and grills a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd remember exactly how to put it all back together once I was ready for the reinstall. I don't quite remember and should have taken pics!. Can anyone shoot me some pics of how an installed front bumper / grills look? Does anyone have an assembly diagram?

Thanks in advance,


Mark

Chapter 14 in the manual details the information. http://thefirstgensite.com/library/68sm/bump/bump.html

You rock!! Thanks so much.

So it looks like the plastic grills get installed first, followed by the bumper. I've seen pics where it looked like the grill was attached to the bumper first, which is what confused me. Are there any tricks to the installation that I should know about?
