I have a 70 Duster and was thinking about replacing the original grill with the Sharkstooth. I know it's not correct but I really like the look of it (Man are they expensive!). Anyway, my question is - Is this a simple change out or are there any modifications needed to be done to mounting brackets etc... Thanks for any replies, Ron

Simple change out. I was going to do the same thing on my 70 Duster but stayed with the original and I'm glad I did.

It is mounted the same way. Someone makes a repro of the sharktooth, but it isn't cheap and i think it's made of a cheaper plastic.
Sort of right, the originals were injection molded from ABS plastic, the reproductions are cast in a two part resin. They look k in pictures but are NOT the same in many respects.

i did the change in my 71 scamp very easy accept the front marker lights mount different ( regular grille is mounted with 2 screws each where as the shark tooth ones twist in like most lights) but other wise easy and looks great!!!!!!!!!!! 
Post some pictures if you could. I for one would like to see what this looks like.
