Lmao! Yes, I got lightning headlights and clear corners on my 99,it doesn't look as bad. Got to work with what you got,dad bought it new so its sentimental.
My 78 was def my favorite and why I picked it for first vehicle..
After I acquire a bullnose though, I'll have all the bodystyles sequential

(I don't count the 92-96 as completely separate)

I mean, I've heard you can swap the front end on the 97-04 with an 07?-13 front end, the body lines all match up, just some splicing in the headlight connectors and possibly the radiator support
