[Showdown]

Given the amount of backdates constantly happening, I’d bet you could get all the parts you need (hood, front latch panel, rear reflector panel, front and rear bumpers and valances, bumper crush tubes, crush tube mounting brackets) all for free as most of it ends up as trash.

If you go with fiberglass bumpers you might not need need crush tubes or the brackets- you’d likely have to fabricate your own mounting brackets.

You will have to weld on a lip to the front fenders where you cut the light boxes out otherwise the fender will be flimsy.

Again, you can probably get donor fenders or maybe even better; trade your long hood parts for someone’s short hood parts.
