What bumper should I use on the front ? Flat 76 Newport ? 75 Gran Fury ? Rear 76 Newport ? Pointy MOPAR ?

This is an impossible question to answer without a brief description of your rules and build abilities.

Without rules, no idea.
Except for the Gran Fury. The holes in the backing are gonna be right where you need to mount it on the frame.

This is an impossible question to answer without a brief description of your rules and build abilities. You should set this quote as your signature quote that goes after you post. Seems like you say this on a daily basis. Lol guess they assume we're all mind readers on their rules

What's worse is when people try to give advice without knowing the rules or the builders abilities. Its simply disinformation.

Who cares about the rules? Run the pointy. They are $400 each for a reason. They must make cars stronger... paint it flat black too for added strength...

My bad the rules are limited weld. I can hard nose or keep tubes on car. Weld brackets to frame bumper to brackets. No tilt no cold bend factory suspension.

In all honesty i wouldnt run a bumper thats that great. Especially on a metric GM wagon. Youre gunna wanna use the back, no point in putting something like that on a car like that. I ran an 82 buick last year, basically the same car, mine was just a 2 door, i kept the factory rotted bumper on it. granted it flattened like a pancake, i still ran it 4 hard times

The front is definitely what you want to use and how exactly is a box sedan the same car as a bubble wagon? Some similarities but definitely not the same car.
