Can I see some pics?
OK, so I'm thinking about back dating my '78 to the long hood look. Short home work says it sounds exspensive. So, I'm looking for some ideas on making the front end (hood, bumper, etc...) flow a little better. Can i see some pics and hear some suggestions?

I would think it would be cheaper to find a long hood tub and transplant your guts to it.

You post sounds like you are now looking for alternatives to the longhood back date. There are several. You can go with 964 bumpers, Ruf bumper like Bill Verburg (full bumper, not just a f/g valance, and there are other bumpers in f/g that will give smoother lines.
