>That's correct.  All you have to do is break the welds/rivets (easy to do) and swap the headlight bucket into the fender.  The external fender is the same.

>I did that back in 1990 or so.  Had a rusty Spirit Liftback 4 cyl I wanted to put a 401 in to autocross...  Found a wrecked in the rear V8 78 Corncob 2 door for $100, and took everything good off the car including all front sheetmetal.  Used the interior metal brace from the Spirit on the Corncob fenders by doing the swap mentioned above.


By the way, here's a really good photo that shows the 78 Concord's inner fender bracket:
