You know, I've been looking for a set of those bumpers for a very, very long time. I have never seen or heard of any still existing. There is a fastback Bill Thomas Chevy II that survived to this day and possibly it might have a set. I'd say your best bet would be to have a fiberglass shop fabricate a set from old photos. A good shop like VFN or Glasstek could do it. Sure, it would be expensive, but you'd have something very speciial. Several of those Bill Thomas Novas had those special bumpers. I'm actually surprised that Clary's Novacaine never had a set.

Very simple. The reason those early BT cars have the cutouts, and mine does not, they were built for road racing, which meant they needed a way to cool the front brakes. Later on they became drag cars. My car and DH's 66 were purpose built drag race cars, thus no need to cool anything. Heck, mine does not even have front brakes.
