I'm still debating on setting the factory grille/headlights deeper into the opening. More "eyebrow" above lights ala late model challis. Does that make sense? My grille was fairly mint and I like the looks. The duster grille looks pretty good too, I will see if my brother has one! :glasses7:

I know exactly what you have in mind - had to be one of the first things I noticed when I first rented a Challenger and gave it a thorough look over for details and generally get answers to "what did they have to do differently from the Charger/300s when they were tasked to shoehorn the old styling onto their present LX platform/package?" Can't say I was thrilled when I found out the dual headlamps were a single joined unit, but it only took a second to envision them at a 45 degree angle on a hypothetical modernized Chrysler 300G (!)

Do you think it's possible to hide the top of the lamps with the already tall grill opening and large headlamps? Seems to me as if the grill openings would be working against you, unless you were thinking of building them up from the top or bottom edge a bit.

You might want to play around with the full-width Duster grill a bit. Though I've seen the '69 Valiant's full-width grill on a Duster, I can't recall anyone grafting a full-width A-body grill onto a Barracuda before. The sides should mate to the fenders without issue, though it may require extending the filler at the bottom - the Valiant/Duster full-width grill design had a filler panel below it to take up the gap; I'm not sure if the '67 front panel cutouts make up for it or not.
