Thanks for the info. I dont have a problem replacing everything from the doors forward. I just dont know much about these cars, been in a Mustang since 1990. I know you can make these cars flat out fly but i just like the front end on the newer ones than the one on the 78. I have a line on both fenders, hood, grill shell, and bumper off of a 85 Hurst and would love to put it on the 78. Just have no idea awhat will bolt up and what wont. I figured the fenders will, but will i have to change out the core support or the bumper brackets or whatever. Appriciate the info tho.
No prob. You can continue to ask around here tho to see if anyone on here has ever done it. You can count on changing out the rad support for sure, even possibly as much as the doors. The problem is going to be the body line in the fenders, it likely won't line up to anything. It all depends how badly you want the look. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Ya, I've been doing some research and the body lines are completely different. Guess im sticking with the 78 front. Don't know if there were any special models for those years but I'll do some more research. I'm taking it to the scales in full trim first just to see my beginning weight. Then the build begins. Will definitely post pics as i go along.No prob. You can continue to ask around here tho to see if anyone on here has ever done it.

Welcome back from the "dark" side, btw.
Post pics of your new ride!
There were special models in those years, namely the 442 and Hurst Olds. Your best best is to google them in a particular year (they changed from year to year in the 78-80's) and pick the one you like. I changed mine from a '80 Calais to an '80 Supreme. This is the '80 Supreme front on mine.
