At this point just tossing ideas around in my head. Don't know for sure I am even getting the 79.
Would a 74 front end (sheet metal) work on a 79? Hood, fenders, bumpers, etc. This includes using the 74 radiator support as the 79 is missing that and the inner fenders.
Throw in anything else you think would work from the 74. It's a wagon and the 79 is a hatchback, so doors and stuff won't work for sure.
Thanks,
Russ
