would it be considered something of a "stovebolt sin", to put, say, a very nice 67-68 grill/hood set up, on a 69? i ask this because, you guessed it, my '69 grill is in pretty rough shape. and i have the 67-68 stuff. so, are there any like...advantages i guess, to this?

thanks!

thanks for the reply scott, but are you refering to the quality of the aesthetic part...or the overal design change from 67/68 to 69 and up?

thanks again.

You'll need to change the fenders and some of the inner structure also. It can be done, and I like the '67-'68 look better myself.

The radiator support needs to be swapped, too.
