Hello all,
My question is regarding a front end swap.
I have an opportunity to pickup a 65 front core support and grill assembly to change out a 69 front.
I don't have a early hood just a 68 straight bottom lip one.
Will the 65. Grill wings interfere with the hood bottom lip?
Also how funky is a big back window with a 65 front?
I like the 65 look.
Thanks, Steve

Re: Hood options
Big back window was an option Ive read in those years. Hood gaps/look may be an issueSteveM wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:58 amHello all,

Re: Hood options
I have found an early 4 headlight unit and question if the 68 hood will touch the upper grill parts. Until i can find a early hood.

Re: Hood options
Yes, the 68 hood will bang into the grill. 68 hoods are 1 yr only so if its in great shape its worth way more than the correct hood you need, which was used 61-67.
