I'm reading that the Gremlin had major changes beginning in  1974
which carried to '75.

In '76 they made the front fenders 'taller' & in '77 came some
major sheet metal changes.

Do the '76 doors interchange with '77 - sheet metal contours
the same ?

The only "changes" the 74 models had over the 73's was the bumper size.the fenders from 1970-76 were the same.The 76 fenders were no different than the 75's and below. now starting in the 77 model year the front fender/hood and front grill ect. were different than that of the 70-76 Gremlin.and all 1970-78 Gremlin doors were the same save for starting in the 73 model year the insides of the doors had crash beams welded in them. which only made them heavier versus the 70-72 doors also all 1970-77 Hornet,78-83 Concord and 79-83 Spirit doors interchange with the 70-78 Gremlins xept the 79-83 Spirits doors upper frame sat a hair lower as the roof lines flowed more at a downward angle versus the 70-78 Gremlin but the weld could be broken and the upp frame could be set to the Gremlins level. Oh also the 80-88 Eagle 2 doors "doors" can fit a Gremlin as well the Kammback Spirit and Eagle Sx4 Kammback as essentially they were "Gremlins" rebadged.
