=== Bumper and Hood Fitment ===

The hood should bolt on without any problems. I used the hinges from the '87 donor car and they bolted right up; if you're having issues, try those.

As for the bumper, there are two main hurdles that make this a non-bolt-on installation.

1. Headlamp Bucket Mounting Points

The '87 headlamp buckets use different mounting points than the '84. The approximate location of the different mounting points is shown in green below:

2. Upper Bumper Mount Modification

The '87 upper bumper mount isn't as long as the one on the '84. To allow the mount to bolt up properly, about 1/4" of material had to be cut from the ends as outlined in green. I used an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel—took about 10 seconds each side.

This is what was removed. The upper mount bolted right up with this material gone.

Aside from those points, all other mounting points appear to be in the appropriate spots:

Here is what happens if you don’t trim the ends of the top mount and use the '84–'86 hood and headlights:
