I’m working to fit the front bumper to the car before it goes. Prior to hanging the front clip back on the car, it needed the frame horns straightened (earlier pics of both sides that were pulled slightly outward). The subframe bumper bracket mounting holes will also need some attention, especially the forwardmost holes. I took pics to reference the areas that’ll need to be filled when the subframe gets restored.

Earlier Van Nuys subframes are unique as they don’t have the large tie-down holes (comparison pic taken from http://www.pozziracing.com/first_gen...s.htm#Subframe), also fewer core support holes and the bumper bracket mounting holes are not slotted (no adjustment).
Now I am gonna have to go put my 68 on the lift and look at the subframe. Its a LA built car and I dont recall seeing those holes. It probably has them but I have never paid much attention to that area of the subframe. I know its the original one to the car. It was never a point of looking, the car is a mid year car so it was fun figuring out what was stock or not as it has some mid year changes, but not all.
