Alright here is the deal my Cutlass ('80) is missing the front bumper (and rear) driver side is seriously wrinkled. I am having trouble finding parts local to replace them.
I was at the yard the other day and they had a Regal limited (83 I think) and 81 Cutlass both with good front ends. The Regals header panel was busted but all the rest was in really good shape (think the damage was from in the yard).
Would it be possible to swap on either of those fronts and or rear bumpers? I know they would not match up 100% and I don't mind the frankenstein look as long as the car is complete. I know that you can swap the post 81 Regal and Cutty fronts but could the post 81 be fit to the 80?
What all would I need? Just the fenders, hood, bumpers, lights etc or are the core support and inner fenders different as well?
I kinda dig the idea of the Regal front with the rear quarters of the 80 Cutty.
I know it might be considered sacrilege but hey its not a perfect car, started off as a diesel now has a 301 and will be getting a 355.
