I did the 80's to 70's clip swap!

well i kicked down and did the 80's square to 70's round front clip swap.

I bought a front clip complete including bolts for 125$.its a 78-79 i think.full chrome front and external hood release.

removed the '82 and the 70's clip actually bolted up fairly well. i didnt have to remove or even touch the core support mounting brackets?

bumpers not on yet,i am searching for a nice one.

The only thing i had trouble with was the aftermarket fenders.they sucked! i had to do excessive shimming on certain spots.its terrible haha.
a Cowl hood is in line eventually for it.

What do you think? better?(not 100% done yet)

BEFORE-


AFTER
