Interchangeable Hood Years?

Yeah, it's definitely some work. If you decide to go through with it, please keep us posted.

I've had similar thoughts about swapping the front end of my '73 Dart over to a '68 or '69 front end...but in the end, the level of work means that it would only be worthwhile to me if I loathed the look of the '73+ nose (I actually like it just fine) or that there was front end damage and I needed new metal anyway.

IMO, there isn't a damn thing wrong with how a '74 Duster looks. Honestly, I think they're the absolute best example of the mid-70s styling that came along after the glory days. They're not as sleek or inherently beautiful as the designs from half a decade earlier but the mid-70s Duster/Valiant nose is well proportioned, rugged and tasteful. Purely my opinion!!
