Duster to Demon conversion

[flatiron]

I have been told you can turn the front end of a Duster or a Dart Sport into a 1971 Demon. Is this true ? What year Dusters or Dart Sports? What parts are needed ?

Yep, definitely doable. Just have to swap the front clip from a 70-72 Dart over. I believe 71-72 are the more correct years, but any of those will work. Also need to change the tail panel. That's the hardest part

Duster to Demon Tail Panel Swap
I don't really mind the taillights from other years. So I was just going to convert the front clip

The onlt problem you might encounter is with the '73 and up cars.
Some have different mounting holes in the front frame for the shock absorbing bumpers, and on '74 and newer, the rears mounted the bumper differently with the shock absorbers.
On '75 and '76 cars, they had the shock absorber bumper mounts front and back.
Some creative fabrication would need to be done to the mounts, but it wouldn't be that hard really if you took your time and had some welding/fabrication skills.......

That's how I feel. It'll look a little different. But I'm actually a fan of the later year tail panels
