This Spring I hope to get the front nose portion of my '79 repainted.
When it's done I'd like to keep it looking good for a good long while.
I have seen those doo-hickey thingamagigs before that mount to the front license plate screws and jut out forward to protect the front of our Sharks.
Does anyone know what you call these things and where they can be ordered?

They're called "Dagmars", Kevin......
Sorry...you walked right into that one....
But seriously, I know what you are talking about, but, like you, the dang thing has slipped my mind at the moment....

I saw them in a Zip Catalog. I will try and find it tomorrow. It is past midnight and I will be turning into a pumpkin shortly. Or one of those mice as I'm the wrong gender for Cinderella.

I know ed zachary what you are looking for...I've seen them....the are kinda triangular shaped, rubber coated steel, and bolt on using the top two license plate screws....they stick out from the front of the car quite a bit. If fact...I think I may even have one in my storage building that I took off of either a '77, or '80 car.....don't remember. If I have time(and the memory), I'll stop by this evening and see if it's there. 
I have not been able to find one at the more common vendor sites....

Thank you much for your replies! 
I'm hoping if we keep hammerin' away we'll find the answer.
Now don't go gettin' yerselves lost out in the storage building or worse yet, turn in to a pumpkin or a mouse!!!

I will check some of my old documents I marked them down as something I think I would buy when I first got my C3. If I can find that document it will have all of the information on them.
