Reversing a Slantnose...

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/1118432840.html

How much could I realistically convert that front end back to stock? I just really disagree with the whole slantnose thing... popups.. ew.

?

Surely, somebody with more experience will chime in, but I'm pretty sure the fenders can just be unbolted and "real" fenders can be bolted back on. Probably, you'd need to re-work a little wiring, but I don't see where it would be that big of a deal. I would bet this has been done quite a bit before.

That is what I had assumed, just a fender and bumper swap. That bumper is pretty hideous too.. Its got a Knight Rider light looking deal going on.

Yeah you could do it pretty easy. I don't care for that particular front bumper but I do like slantnose cars.

you could sell some of the extra exhaust tips off of it to help fund the conversion.
