I bought a zender style airdam, and am going to attach a euro style bumper to the front(fiberglass bumper for the rear). Keith, I was looking at your website, and it has alot of helpful pics. What I was wondering was how exactly does it attach? Does it slide into that bottom hole, the one below the big bumper mounting holes? What fitments(IE hardeware) will I need? Also, would you install the airdam first, and then the bumper, or the bumper first, and then the airdam? Any insight and help would be great.

Let me take a stab at it.
To get the bumper to fit you have to cut slots like this in your original core support to allow the bumper brackets to go through the steel. You can decide if you patch the big holes are not. The pic here should make it self evident.

The holes for the bumpers are there still. You have to drill them out.

This is not a good pic but it's all I had - the brackets you need are from a 1972 2002. They are the shorter ones - because in 73 they extended it about 3".

Laying on your back, looking up, you can see how it goes together.

Spoiler? I can't say if you do it first or last. You have to determine where it mounts on the face - and that may require you to cut slots in it where the bumper iron's go through it to the body.
