Parts comparison needed, please.......

[JollySipper]

Hello, fellows! I'm needing a compare-n-contrast between a couple parts........ I'm working on a project that 'may' involve putting the bumpers from the '73 Super Charger on the body from the AMT '71 Charger. My question is... will this be a direct swap? Will the bumpers from the MPC kit fit the AMT body? 

Thanks for any help with this!

There have recently been a couple discussions interchangeably for bumpers between the AMT 71 and the MPC 71-74 Chargers. One of those recent discussions included pics of bumper test fits. You should search "Super Charger".

The short answer is they don't fit correctly.

An option would be to cut the grilles out of the 73/74 grille and put them in the 71 Bumper. Same concept should work on the rear bumper.

Hope this helps

Thanks, guys! I wouldn't have thought anyone would try this other than myself, so I didn't think to search first.......

Remember, too, that the quarter windows are different from the '71 / '72  - the '73 / '74 quarter windows are the "same" as the '71-'74 Road Runner ( Satellite, et alia ). 

Seems like a fairly monumental undertaking to update the AMT '71 to 1973/74 cosmetics. 

I have a beat-up '72 Rallye Charger ( MPC annual ) which I was thinking of bashing with the AMT '71. My plan is to splice the doors' "dents" from the '72 into the doors of the '71 . I haven't actually compared proportions ( i.e., will it be a simple grafting or more involved ).
