03-07 front end conversion kit for 73-87s?
« on: November 15, 2011, 11:30:48 pm »
Hey guys, I remember a while back seeing a thread about some company that made a fibreglass front end for 73-87s that incorported the 03-07 headlights and grille, but I can't remember if it was here or fullsizechevy.com.  Anyone remember what thread it was?  I tried searching to no avail.  Oh, and don't worry, I'm not getting it, I just wanted to see it again.

Don't know of a 03-07 frontend, but http://www.hannemannfiberglass.com made a 88-99 version at one time.

I posted a really bad cut and paste of one a while back to see what it would look like on an 81 up nose. I never saw anyone manufacture one though.

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to do some more digging cause I'm 99% sure I saw it somewhere.  It was really expensive though.

     I am sorry, but that is ugly.

I agree. Looks like two trucks collided

It doesn't 'flow' as nice as I thought it could...it would probably be a more successful conversion if you bought a front clip and had a shop mold it all together...

You could definitely make a way better version. It may not be scaled identical but I agree, that is ugly.
