I guess since you got a deal on the '68, you could possibly find or trade for a '69 front clip?

Then it would still be a '68 from the rear though.

I think it would be cool IMO

The 68 and 69 hoods are the same EXCEPT for a trim piece that attaches to the underside of front lip on the 69 hood.

It's this piece that dips down and matches the contour of the 69 grille instead of the straight 68 style as stated in another reply.

---

The trim piece is painted body color to fill the gap--so it is hard to notice..

The '68 & '69 grilles are shaped differently in the center. The '69 hood dips down over the grille where the '68 doesn't. There are a lot of detail differences between '68s & '69s.

I think all that you have to do is put the 69 Hood extension on the 68 hood and put the grille in. I believe the headlamp mounting area is the same and will accept the 69 H.lamp bezels too...

Hmm, so with a '69 Front clip the door-line will still line up and not look silly? I think that might be worth doing.

It would look fine it will line up with your doors to

As for doors, 68,69,70 dodge coronet, Bee and 68,69,70 Plymouth Sat., Road Runner are all the same body lines. The only dif. is the 68 has the door lock hole at the end of the door where as the 69 and 70 are a few inches from the door edge.
If you do change your front clip, now you would have rectangle reflector sidemarkers in the front and the round side lights in the R Qtrs.
Also the trunk lid is different from 68 to 69 and I think the taillight panel is different so don't think you could put 69 tail lights in it either. I would just do a 68 coronet RT clone and keep what you have, If you ever want to sell it, would be better all 68 than a Mixed Breed.

If you wanna keep it, a hybrid would be sweet You are right on the doors as my '70 Charger has a '68 door on the driver side and a '70 on the passenger side. It does not bother me the least bit. Of course my rear valance is a '68
