Default Front end

I was wanting to know what the best way to get the camaro bumper and valance on the front of my 70 nova, I love that look. I've heard some people cut the stock nova bumper, and add the 69 valance, but I've also heard people using 69 camaro bumpers. I've also heard the front valance pretty much bolts on with some filler work around the fenders. Thanks guys, as always, I appreciate any help/advice

Yes, just like that!! So that looks like a camaro bumper. How much fab work is needed to make that happen? That's the way gm should've made them.

Ok, so I have my valance on the way, as well as a bumper. Are there any tips anyone could give me as to how the valance should attach? Also, do I leave the stock nova upper filler panel? Also, as far as the metal work from the sides to blend them to fender, is it better to get camaro extensions and cut and weld, or just make templates and fab up myself? Thanks again guys
