Dart / Valiant body lines?

[swing69]

Just lookin'; And I'm talking about post cars, but I think the same applies to hardtops:

The doors on a 65 Dart look to be the same as the 64 Valiant. The top body line by the mirror looks to be in the same place, and depth.

So: would the nose of a 64 Valiant (63-64-65 having the same top body line, except for the "V" shape)....line up with the doors of the 65 Dart???

Just thinking out loud, but I would think the 64 Valiant nose would look good on the 65 Dart. anyone done and early A valiant / dart sheetmetal swap????

Yes, they fit fine. I had a '65 Dart Convertible with a '64-5 Barracuda front end on it.

Here lots '66 Darts have got 65 Dart front or Valiant's front pieces.
Look more slim. Much more 66 2d posts here than other Darts at here.
My friend did build end of 90's 2d post '65 Val with '65 Darts classfiber flip.
Not so palance look from sideview. Short end and long nose. No backbumber and rolled pan. But it was fast.

And other have '66 Dart, with '65 front. 360+6/71 pump.

But never seen early Barracuda with Dart front. Cuda's more expensive.
