Default 75 to 79

Will a 75 Singray door to door surround fit on a 79?

You mean the thing that arches over your head? I seriously doubt it!

No. I'm talking about the front of the car. The fenders.

You just made it. The door to door front end is the same for 75 thru 79.

It looked like it was same but it also looks as if the front stock bumper covers are different though. I think I have to use my 79 cover since I will be adding the valance to the front and putting on the 3 piece spoiler like what was on the 78 anniv. model. Also, what about the line up holes for the Stingray emblems. Are the 79 emblems interchangeable? Will have to fill in the current holes and make new ones? I know I'll have to remove the lock on the drivers side and plug that.

The lock on the driver's side fender is the alarm. In 1979 it was incorporated in the driver's door lock. So you will have to do some re-wiring.

The front bumper cover is the same for 75-79. 74 is different.
