New to the site and to building a car

[84H/O]

I have just acquired a '80 Cutlass and have some plans for it, i know what i want and how to do, getting my hands dirty is another matter, does anyone know if the header panel (plastic piece that holds the headlights and grill) from an '81 or '82 will fit my car?

Nope, it won't fit the earlier car. One from a 1978-80 or 81( whichever year they changed the bodies) would work, but not the later part.

No the 78 - 79 - 80 were the only ones interchangeable as the body lines are diff ( as you probably know ).

As well the '78 -'79 had 2 headlights and the '80 had 4 headlights making the 1980 a little harder to find
