70-71 Lemans changes
I have a 71 Le Mans ht,it has a 70 front clip installed.
I purchased a 71 luxury Lemans parts garage,consisting of fenders,hood,and radiator support,but no bumper. The current installed front end,is all primed and ready to paint,as is the whole car,but the gaps between the panels,are not well done. Any help or advice appreciated. |

So what advice are you looking for? Which styling do you like better? Shouldn't be too hard to find a '71 bumper if you decide to go that route.

The 71 body panels are original and would need some work.
I was under the impression each year from 68-72 were different each year. Kinda bugs me having the incorrect front end,but rechroming the bumpers,would be easiest,and cheapest..cash left over for more upgrades. Ill never sell the car...just want to enjoy it. Im not a body work guy..bad eye and no patience. I plan on doing the paint myself,but could use help in correct procedure,for aligning the hood,body,and fenders Thanks |

'71 and '72 standard nose (chrome bumper) fenders are the same, other than emblem piercing holes. '72 core support top is different than the '71, that noted, the standard nose V8 '72 core support top was designed to also accept attaching to the '71 FRP (Fiberglas) header panel.
'70 Tempest/LeMans fenders, core support, front bumper, & front valance are one year only, and end use buyers are out there, just have to connect with them.

Sorry to link to another site,have no data left this month  I like the look of the 70, but unsure which parts were put together. I need all the hood hardware..latch assembly,spring,brackets,handle etc,along with hood hinges..goof removed the springs..not fun trying to get them re attached! Im a heating cooling guy,and want to build an inexpensive spray booth. Some sort of lift,combined with both a fresh air system for myself,and a floor system,to remove the fumes,using hepa filtration. |
