How much of the front clip are you replacing? The bumper mounts forward, or a 
little further back? When I did my 71 Roadster, I cut thru the fuel tank 
opening (the rectanglular part), and trimmed the "new" part to the same size. I 
used ALL the body bolts to help line everything up, as I bolted the fenders back 
on to help get everything how I liked it, while continously checking to see 
if the opening for the fuel was square. The hardest part about doing mine 
wasn't the metal work itself, but rather getting the hood springs back on, as those 
babies have some tension on them. :0 I hope this helps.
