Anyone know about sheetmetal?

I have a '73 Nova ss and would like to know if the the hood, grille, bumpers and fenders from a '72 would bolt up without mod. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes. Everything will pretty much bolt right up.

The radiator support on the 73 is the same as the support on the 68-72 small block.

The headlight housing are the same as well.

If you have good fenders, keep them, they are the same.

You will need a 69-72 style hood, because the front lip is slighty different where it meets the grill.

The hood to windshield cowl panel is the same, so don't worry about that.

The only thing that I am unsure about, is the front bumper supports and brackets. You'll have to do some research. I think this may require some drilling.

So, to sum it up you will need.

-Hood '69-72
-Hood latch support '68-72
-Grill ('68-69 or '70-72, your choice)
-Grill to bumper filler panel and reinforcement (2- parts). '68-72
-Fender eyebrow moldings, '69-72
-Headlight bezels, '69-72 (68's are slightly different as I just found out).
-Bumper ('68-69, or '70-72, different sized turn signal/park lamp lenses)
-Bumber support brackets ('68-72, total of 4: 2 inner, 2 angled outer)
-Park lamp lense assembly. ('68-69 smaller amber, '70 clear larger, '71-72 amber)
-Fan shroud, '69-72 SB or BB.
-Hardware and what-not

Lemme know if I missed anything.

Good luck, post pictures in here if you do it.
