i was just wondering if any way possible i could put a 87cutlass front clip on a 85 olds wagon i been lookin at a wagon in my area an just thought it would be different to do if possible
 
You mean 2 dr cutlass supreme onto a wagon?

The profiles of the rear of the fender on a 2 dr are different from the profiles of the front of a 4dr or wagon. The 4dr cutlass and wagons will interchange with the 4 dr buicks and wagons.

If you could somehow make the front door skins a transition panel it might work out. Say if you took a section of a 2dr cutlass door skin and spliced it into the wagon front door. You could continue the body lines and profiles of the 2dr nose and fade them out on the front door of the wagon.

As for the mounting holes, the cutlass nose should bolt right up I think.

It would be even nicer if you could mold the 2 dr tailights onto the wagon 1/4's.
