it will look like ass...the trim extends into the front and back bumpers, which cannot be removed...so it won't sit flush with the body without the trim moldings

You mean the door and fender moldings.

I've seen it done on some cars. Doesn't look too bad.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

It has been done, but you have to hack the front and rear off the car and graft on 67-68 parts.


Honestly, I did that with an 84 I had, and spent a year after chunking the mouldings trying to find a deal on some to put it back. As stated above, it leaves the front and rear bumper lines hanging out in space, and replacing the moulding later comes out to 3 or 4 hundred bucks if memory serves.
