Default WTB Front Clip For 68...

Im not well versed in the 68 model year and im not sure if the 69 will work in its place so someone please let me know.

I have a friend who has a 68 but some smoze over the years put a 74 front clip on it. My friend wants to return her back to her glory.

If anyone has one, has a partial one, has pieces to one please let me know and maybe we can help restore another chrome bumper to her glory.

Thanks,
Jake

Jake,

68 and 69 do have the same fiberglass parts for the front end.

I've got a parts car that have alot of the front end, but it would need alot of work.

Where is your friend located?

He is in Nashville TN but we travel all over. He is on a budget (who isnt) so the more work needed would probably be better for him as long as its not in a million pieces.

Thanks Rick!

Jake,

I'll try to get some pictures for you in a couple of days.

Keep in mind that the front end is still attached to the rest of the car.

There is a difference between early and late 68 front clips. The early front clip is almost impossible to find.

Jake,

I think I'm going to hold on to this. I've got the complete #'s matching drivetrain and who knows some day I may do something with it.

Sorry,
Rick

What is the difference between the early and late clips? Is it the headlight hole cutouts?
