71 and 72 hood question

That's trickier. The grille can likely be made to fit the fenders with some new holes or additional brackets. And the hood should line up and the hood support/latch panel should still work.

Where it gets tricky is the bumper and lower valance, and possibly the headlight trim. The '74 Dart fenders have a different relief for the bumper, and no way to attach the valance used on the '70-'72 cars. So that would require fabrication and some body work for sure. Not sure about the headlight trim either, as the '74 fenders wouldn't have a place to bolt those chrome eyebrows. None of that stuff is impossible, but from a time and money perspective it would probably be a lot easier to buy a set of '70-'72 fenders.

It's easier to convert the '73+ Dart fenders for use on the '67-69 Darts than it is for the '70-'72 body style.
Thanks for the detailed reply. Good stuff.
