1973 bumperette delete covers available?

[halle09]

ok, so i took the hideous bumpettes off the back of my 73 cuda. does any one sell covers that close off the old bumperette holes? and if not any ideas on how to cover them?

I just ordered a couple of extra stainless bumper bolts and filled the holes with them.

no, the rear holes not the front bumper holes. the big holes in the bottom rear valance.

Most people fill those by adding the 1970-72 style rear bumper guards. 

I'm pretty sure no one makes a filler piece for the rear valance, you would hve to have a body shop weld them up.

I'm fixing to do this exact change and to do it right you need to get 70-72 rear bumper brackets and remove all the extra bracing etc. and then get the matching 70-72 chrome bumperettes.  I've seen where people have put the smaller earlier chrome bumperettes on 73-74 models and left the rest of the bumper/bracing/brackets original.  It looked OK but the smaller bumperettes kind of hang down in the open instead of being tucked in against the rear pan like they should be.  Here is a kit on Ebay that includes everything but the earlier bumper brackets:

And here's a link selling those:

Hope this helps, Jim
