    welcome to the board. got any pics. i've never seen a 70 with a 73 bumper since the 73 is a big bumper. most people try to change from the big bumper to a small bumper.:Welcome:

    They make a chin spoiler for a 70-72. You can massage it to fit the 73 valance. Mine turned out just fine....

    74-77 are big bumpers. 73 is not, they look just as good as 70-72 or better. :yup:

    I agree' i did a chip foose on the bumper and modified the brackets by pushing it inward 3 inches. made it look a lot better

    Sliding it back gets it to close to the marker lights. Doesn't look right in my opinion.

    I posted pictures of my 73 Comet in the thread, "Chin spoiler". I got my spoiler from "Maverick Connection" a few years back. It fits great......
