Years ago, in the late 90s (before the proficiency of the internet), my brother rear ended a truck with my 78 Chevette. He was driving it because I Did not have my License yet but we had spent the previous year and a half fixing her up.
After that accident wrecket the front, we had to change the whole front end to the later style ('79 and up) because that's all anyone could find. It changed the whole look and made me sad because I loved the front of the 78's look so much.
Currently I am talking with someone to buy his 87' Chevette. It need some engine work and has a dented drivers fender and broken grill and missing the drivers headlight bezel too.
I would be more inclined to rescue this car if i could score a Hood and Lights from a 78 to retrofit.
Heck in the past couple years I was on the look out for he bezels and grills of a 78 at any JY because we now have the means to recreate them.
I have a connection at a school with a CNC setup, 3D Scanner and Printer. Basically a Plastics Lab that can recreate them.
I just know if I can lay my hands on those plastic Pieces I can have them recreated, & maybe help out some other Vette owners too
