No
No harm done. It would only take five minutes to undo the headlights and grille shell, then you just have a vette needing a front clip. He probably just can't afford to buy the front end right now and decided to have some fun with it.

I agree. He got bored and had some parts laying around.
Looks to be easily undone. Maybe a few hours with a cutoffwheel and welder to get the rad support and frame horns back where they belong.
