I've been modifying my '74 Duster to appear as a Holden Monaro as seen in The Road Warrior. The biggest modification has been the front end. The grill is from a 40's Buick, the headlights are from a VW Bug, and the hood 'bump' is from an old Ferguson tractor.
I started with a wire mesh frame, then coated it with fiberglass and spent many hours sanding. The tractor hood had to be significantly cut down and reshaped, then it was bolted in and smoothed over. Here's a comparison shot with the movie car:
