I need to remove the front valance on my 85 GSLSE in order to remove some rusted dings and then paint. There are 4 bolts under the hood but I can't seem to find any others to remove. I would like not to remove the front bumper. Any ideas on how to remove it?

 

you do NOT need to remove the front bumper!there are also two bolts per side that attach the valence to the bumper shock brackets. also, there is one bolt per side that attatches the valence to the front corner of each fender. the eaisest way to get to these bolts, i have found is to remove the headlight bucket completely which takes all of 5 imnutes per side or if you are a contortionist, you can try from underneath the car. if you need pics, let me know, i'll get you some today.

 

Thanks for your help. Pictures would be great.

 

if you can wait until this evening, i'll have them for you. i'm going out to the barn to finish parting this car out today. i'll attatch the valence and show you where the bolts are.

 

Thanks again.

 

You can get to the bolts if you remove the turn signals and a long extension with a swivel joint.
