tips or tricks to removing the front bumper and lower valances

My 72' has them! a few screws mount them to the inside and a bent clip catches the wheelwell edge. Certainly looks factory. I'll snap a picture on the weekend.

Here is a bad picture of my drivers side liner and an ok pick of the Nissan label with the part number. The liner is plastic and does attache to a 'factory' looking clip welded just behind the bumper end bolt.

63881-N4200

Used on both the Coupe and the 2+2, as of 6/76

Per the Z Club Microfiche.

Slides # 126-7 L26 & L28E Body; and 149-7 2+2 L26 & L28E Body

As I wrote, they may have been added later or your fenders may have been replaced with later style fenders, but the 71's didn't have them as stock equipment.

This is a good example why the Z Club CD will help decipher oddities as well as make it easy to determine what will and won't fit on your car.

FWIW

Cool Beans,

So when I get around to re-assembling my 72' it would be more correct not to replace the liners. That equals some 'black' ink on my restoration P&L statement. Hmmmm, I think I can now afford that 280 I saw on ebay....

Ok, finally got a couple of pics of what i have.

kinda crappy, but you should be able to see the tin foil thin metal i'm talking about. they're shaped with a soft radius and don't look homemade, just beat up. pass side is torn, driver side looks like it was trimmed at some point.

the texture of the liner (not a coating, paint or undercoating) is like a hammered metal.

Bart,

Those sure dont look like what I took outta my '77 a few weeks back. Mine are plastic. They have been undercoated as well and attach with 7 or 8 sheet metal screws. Those look to be a homemade job.
