Well my birthday is quickly approaching and the girl friend wants to buy me parts for the Olds (god bless her). I have the engine trans and rear covered (though maybe a bit here and there still needed) and honestly i'm kinda stuck on what to ask her for.
Originally I was thinking of putting a Regal front end on the car from the local wrecking yard as most of my damaged body work is up front and I don't have stock bumpers. Besides the Regal nose looks better. I thought about asking her for some of the sheet metal but then last night we were looking at G body pics and she saw a Monte SS. She asked me what about putting the Monte nose on the Olds.
This actually got me thinking it might look good though the Monte fenders and hood are way off in their lines. I then remembered the more "universal" fit Monte SS nose used for stock car racing. It would be in the price range of what she is looking to spend and I could make it fit better than the factory stock one as the lines are a bit different and more simple on the race one. Any ideas on modding one of those noses for street use? What about a bumper for behind the cover?
Anyone know a good source for one piece noses? Most seem to be the two piece split down the middle ones.
Any other suggestions for what to have her find (mind she is not big on junk yard rummaging yet, except for stereos)?
