    I already posted this over on the Dragon Wagon forum
    On a 80 Buick Century wagon, a G body I believe.

    A friend a mine was asking if a doghouuse/ front -end from a 85 Buick regal could be swapped over with no hassels.

    Only concern or problem was the front edge of the doors, between the fenders on wagon versus the ones from a2 door coupe.

    Can the header and front bumper only just be swapped out?:Do No:

    Thanks guys

    Wow htwhls19

    Looks good !!!, but the body lines seem not line up?

    Has you or any one else tried to just swap out the header panel only?

    Thank you for the link tho.

    Yeah, the body lines don't match up at all. It would have taken a ton of bondo to make them flow.

    I have heard of another guy getting a pair of fenders for each car and cutting and welding them together somehow, but that seems crazy too.

    The header panel won't work because the fenders are different; the original fenders on my car went straight up and down on the front edge, while the 87 style fenders came down at an angle and then straight down....on a side note thats why the hoods fit, but not the header panel. It also is about 4" longer than the original fenders/front clip
