    Back dating 74 or newer to a longhood

    What is required to backdate the body of a 74 and newer car to a longhood?
    If someone has pictures of the process all the better.

    No pics of the process, but I did backdate a 1982 to longhood.
    Bonnet, front fenders, front bumber, front grills and indicators, engine lid, rear bumper (require some cut/welding). More or less that is it.
    You may reuse the front and rear lamps/lights, engine grill too I guess (I use a genuine and complete 2.4 S 1973 engine lid)
    You'll also need a bit of welding on the doors to hide the mirror holes > 1974) and install/retro fit period correct ones.
    Think about the chrome trims too (windshield, windows etc.) if not chrome already (black was an option for some Gs and turn into all black).

    The toughest part is the interior if you wish to go the long way, but you mentioned body so...

    Thanks!
    When I went through that thread I saw a car I'd seen before some years ago. It was parked next to my car at a car show. It's a beautiful car indeed.
