LATE model Dart love. 73-6
I got a beak car interchange question. Could you with minor mods put a 69 dart hood, grille, and front bumper on a 73 up dart?
The 73 up fender stampings look very close to a 67-69 fender. The obvious differences i can see are the parking light location and stamping, the area at the front edge of the fender where the bumper meets, and 2 welded in nutplates for an upper header panel.
I am thinking a 67-69 hood would do away with the header panel, and the 2 nutplate holes on either fender could be filled in.
If the fenders need to be trimmed where the earlier bumper meets them that is pretty easy as well.
The reason i am asking is a buddy of mine just got a 73 dart sport 318 console car. Not sure he is gonna keep it or fix n flip it. He's a chevy guy. I told him id ask though.
The fenders are good, but the bumper and grille are gone, and the hood is hail damaged. He also got a front clip from a 69 dart with it. I told him it will prob swap over. He wants to keep the 73 fenders and side parking lights so the car looks the same front to rear from the side.
