I am not sure about the Gremlin hood fitting but I know the 4 headlight Concord hood fits. I have a friend that put a 4 headlight Spirit nose on an early Gremlin. It was before I knew him so I only saw a few pic's of it. My disabilitys make a lot of things I used to do almost impossible, but I do a little at a time.
