    I am looking into gettig a 77 Comet.
    Can I change the front and rear bumpers to look like that of a 70-73?

    If so, what kind of work needs to be done to do this?

    Is that it?

    So I just need to hardware and the bumpers? Do that matchup perfectly or do I need to customize anything?

    Yes, there are little detail and differences you have to take into account. Here is a good write up about it. Also use the search feature for much more info on the swap. Good luck. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=11108
