If I have a 70-71 Duster 1 pc front end, can it be modified moderatly easily to accept a 73 and up Duster grill, hood and bezels? PD Last edited by produster; 04/16/12 09:55 PM.

The grill has to be narrowed to fit as well. This front end has been built using Dart fenders, a 70-71 front end molded into the glass fenders, 74-76 duster bumper and then the air dam was added. Bottom line is if I did it again I would look for a better quality one piece front end and live with it 7167933-IMG_1135.jpg (93 downloads) 76 Duster work in progress

If it can be done with some time and effort, I am in. Looks like my car will at least look the part of a 73 and up Duster. thanks PD

I am hoping this little project is not too tough... I can tune a chassis and a motor but body work. My junk always ends up looking like some modern art p.o.s or happy the clown, aways waving....
