Front end differences

[dodgert68]

Does anyone know how much of a difference there is in the front grill area between a 70 and a 72? I have a 72 and would like to have the 70 grill and all other parts as i think it looks nicer. What would be involved in changing over to that grill setup?

Challenger or Barracuda?

Sorry i guess that would help it's a 72 Challenger.

IIRC, the headlights are attached to the grille surround on the 72 and not the fenders like the 70 is. The 70 fenders have headlight buckets welded into the fender but if you found crunched 70 fenders, you could rob the buckets out of them and weld them into the 72 fenders or just find good 70 fenders. Also, the side marker light openings are different. The rest should be pretty straight forward....
