Doc, The panel is similar to the same piece found on 72 and earlier Hornets. The SCs and perhaps others had them in black, but non-SCs usually had the all-aluminum look. Mine is totally smooth, but I've seen others that are etched similar to the door sill plates. This bring up an interesting idea....I wonder what the SC's black panel and tail lights would look like on my car.... John -----Original Message----- From: AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx] That panel between the tail lights on the 73's is that aluminum? and a 73 only year thing? If so I would hate to have to find a replace for it. I don't care for the horizontal bumper rubber on the 73's or the big bumper guards on the 74. I just remove the big rubber bumper guards on the 74's and use bumper bolts to hide the holes. "Doc" ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Autos.
