I was thinking of doing a 70 Chevelle custom.

Crude photoshop of a fully frenched frontend:



and cruder still, with '90 Chevy C truck lights:

Yeah, not a big fan of either of those.
Not on that car, at least.

Meh, the design isn't sacred. Even Chevy "customized" it themselves a bit, as a Monte:

Does the first have hideaway lamps, or just no lamps at all? Looks a lot better than the second photo.

Chevelle's never came with factory hideaways but with a little fabrication I bet you could fit a set of 68 Camaro hideaways in it.

First pic reminds me of a late 60s Cougar for some reason but it is better than pic 2, which just looks strange. I cant quite place it. Both look out of place after so many years of recognizing the OEM grille on that silhouette. In the end make yourself happy, good craftsmanship always shines thru a design.
