Hoping some of you might know.....

Topic: What's all involved and what parts needed?
I need to convert 1972 Challenger Front fenders to 1970 Challenger.  Need to know if the 1972 fenders will accept the 1970 Headlight buckets. I know the entire headlight bucket "Pod" (High and low beam lights) will unbolt from certain cars...Is this how the 1970 Challenger was? I know the side markers will have to be swapped, but more concerned with the headlight buckets themselves..Some pics of the differences would REALLY be helpful...Just need to know if I need to do some rigging, or can I buy the needed parts without having someone retire off me....

The '70 pods are spot welded in. They can be removed and made to work in the later fenders. I am doing the same thing with a '72 Challenger.

This is why I would like to see a pic, as are the '72 Inner fenders still stamped the same as the 1970? So all I'd need were the 1970 "Pods"?...

My car is stored elsewhere so I can't get a pic. I took the pods out of some junk '70 fenders and mounted them in the '72 fender structure.

My fenders are off the car and I will take some pics as soon as I'm back from Sweden (friday) if that's enough for you.
