Swappin sheet metal

[johnd]

I have a 75 and 71 Duster, both slant 6 auto. Neither run, but the 75 is much more complete than the 71 and have a title for the 75. I want to swap front clip, doors and possibly the taillight panel from the 71 to the 75. Im almost sure the front clips and doors wont be a problem but im not sure about the taillight panel. Anybody have any suggestions about the taillight panel swap? The taillights on the 75 curve around to the corner of the fender and the lights on the 71 stop about 2 inches from the rear fender. Im sure the panel could be cut off the 71 but was wondering to hack off the whole panel or just around the taillight assemblies. Im not a paint and body guy, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The front fenders and doors are the same (except for the side markers) for both cars so you don't have to put this '71 stuff on the '75. Just the hood, grill and bumper of the '71 need to be put on the '75. If you aren't a body and paint guy you probably don't want to tackle the tail panel.

Thanks for the input Chuck. Gonna do a little homework before I tackle this one.
