hey all, i want to put my 72 front clip onto a 73 rear clip. will this work? what about the wiper door stuff? thanks, john
 
I think you can swap the 72 nose but need to also use the 68-72 forward frame section. Keep the 73 hood and ferget the wiper door, GM did. The 73 hood latch was in the same location, I believe. If you take this approach the swap should work OK, but I never did it, so double check. Of course you will need the bumper, frame horns and all mounting hardware.
 
ok, i am definately asking this the wrong way. my car is a 72 coupe. the entire birdcage is rotted. i bought a 73 rear clip not thinking that in 73 they did not have a wiper door. can i still use my original to the frame 72 front clip?
