Unidentified Part?

[michael.cannonjr]

I'm trying to find a part, that so far nothing aftermarket seems to provide.

The headlights on a 1978 are mounted to one solid piece that runs the length of the front nose.

It’s a fiberglass type material, the set screws are attached.

I can’t find a replacement and don’t even know what it’s called.

Any advise?

Did you try eBay?

I have tried eBay off and on as well as scrap yards. First thing is to simply get the right name for the part.

@Trans Am Guru can you help at all?

Do you at least have a picture of the part you are trying to source?

Ames, Classic Industries, Firebird Central and The Eagle are my go to places. eBay is OK but its caveat emptor.

I'm not sure if you've found it by now, but I figured I'd help if I could.

It's called a headlight panel, or headlight mounting panel.

Here is a link to a picture of one:

What is wrong with yours?

It may be repairable.

I have a 77-78 complete nose assembly, located in Massachusetts though.
