All the Ltd ones I got just have the ones in middle. The 73 I can't remember the merc it was off of. Had 5 or 6 gussets. With 10 inch point.

I have a Nova, Vic, Flat Pinch Frame and this LTD bumper. I chose this for the slight point and felt it was in the middle of the road for hard/soft.

I love the build threads that everyone is doing now!!! The Cadillac is looking great. I ran a late 70’s Cadillac years ago and I remember thinking that the front was a tank!

Weld everything you can. Filler. Brace everything. That plate that goes braces to fender. Weld solid. Plate and run rod thru up into hood then angle iron hood to fender inbetween. Everything you can makes a difference

Zip screws instead of welds. Hundreds of zip screws they make a big difference too

Cut or fold the bottom of the rear 1/4s behind the rear tires. That lower sheetmeatal is useless and way too strong. It makes the rear frame not be allowed to bend at the dimples.

We cut from back of wheel well to about 8 inches from end of body an it clears the tire. We roll the top part over tire in one piece an bolt it.
