I have the option of getting a Full Tilt front end (one piece;fenders, grill, hood) in trade for a stock setup. Do you guys like these, are their known problems with them, would you do it? I am really intrested in it because I have always thought they were cool, and would make working on the car pretty easy. I am already planning for some serious mods to the car, but plan on giving it some road time when its donw, but not a daily driver.

I have a 69 Chevelle, it is going threw a full custom rebuild from the ground up. The car has 410HP/500Ft, but will be putting in something more around 550HP/550FT. I am rebuilding the top half of the motor, and converting to an Accel DFI system, and Aluminum heads with angle plugs before it gets back on the road.

Personally I wouldn't.. and I believe you would be getting the short end of the stick in that deal especially if your stuff is original... but then again it is your car... Good Luck either way

The front end is off a 68, and when I sanded it down I found that there was some cancer and bondo (alot) repair on one for the fenders and the whole frontend is not their (like the light besels, some trim, ect). I still have to look at the frontend to make sure it is not cracked or anything.
