The more I look at it the more I think it might be a Monte SS nose that has been cut to match the Malibu fenders. Just doesn't look right at the headlight area. It also has an angle to it that shouldn't be there on the bottom front of the wheel.
They would actually have to add to the nose where it meets the fenders since the Monte goes straight down in that area

I like it
The mirrors on the silver one look out of place, they don't seem to fit right. Look like 86 Montes. The mirrors on the white one are to far forward. I like both cars.
A good bodyman could make a Monte nose work, but I would much rather have the fiberglass one from Choo Choo, defunct Lauren, or JP Auto parts.

I plan on doing that with my pro-street Fauxmad ‘83 wagon. I don’t think you could do the Monte SS front without using the fenders and hood at least. You could fab up pieces for the fenders, but the body lines that go from the hood and into the nose are located in a different spot than the Malibu. Then you would probably have to use the Monte doors as well, then the body line from door to quarter won’t match.

The mirrors on the silver one might be too far up and forward. The Monte style mirrors on the red one are too far back. I was going to use them on my El Camino and put them up in the corner where they belong, but I reskinned the passenger door and it didn’t have any holes for mirrors so I left the mirror off that side and shaved the hole for the drivers side mirror. I do have a set of street rod mirrors with set screws and some hard rubber so I can have outside mirrors if I’m hauling something that blocks my view out of the rear window.
