After you mentioned the turn signals, I noticed that theirs are closer to the inside rather than being centered under the headlights as you said. Now to just get brave enough to cut up my bumper.

If you don't mind painted bumpers it wouldn't be to hard to cut and weld back together. It could always be smoothed out with bondo. I would personally like them chrome which means all modifing would have to be done with weld (no bondo). I know I don't have those kind of welding skills. Neutral

Don't forget Spectra Chrome or simular products. They even work on fiberglass bumpers. JB

The front bumper slot on the wagon must be for better cooling airflow (?)

Just my opinion but I think the Holley wagon bumper looks strange without the "full" mid-crease running through it horizontally- the missing bumper bolt heads are also kind of weird looking. Looks like they sliced it the long way & the re-weld isn't all that great.

I like the tuck on the sides and the cut out down the bottom looks cool and I think it is functional for airflow & cooling down that big motor.

The jack slots have been filled also. I think it looks good except on the side view looking down, the fitment looks a little funky. That said, I looks better than how any '74 stock bumper ever fit originally. king
