Need info on installing a fiberglass front fender and nose piece to a metal body?
I have a 1986 Chevy Camaro and it has front end damage and rust everywhere. I want to install a fiberglass front end to my car but don't know much of anything about fixing it. I understand that fiberglass can crack easy if it needs drilled, but its cheaper and better I think to replace it all at once since I don't have much money to work with. Can someone please tell me how to install this part the right way and what I would need?

Re: Need info on installing a fiberglass front fender and nose piece to a metal body
First we need some pics of the damage. Also, you won't know what needs repair until you remove the front bumper cover (nose cone). You will learn all about how it's pu together when you do that.
The bumper cover is retained by a support bar, that bolts into the front fenders. Under the cover is the plastic crash pad mounted to the metal bumper.
If you look through some threads about front end damage you'll see some photos.
