Default Front valance swap?

I have a 72 grande but was looking to swap out the front valance with one from a 65. I was wondering how difficult this could become. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't see it coming even close to fitting the 72 is wider and has a more rounded front end.And the 65 is more flat and body it would look way out of place on it too.

You'd have better luck fitting a Camaro valence. What are you hoping to accomplish? Simply put, why would you do this? We may be able to help you if we knew your goal.

The openings in the front of the car are disigned to move air through the radiator for cooling. Modifying the openings may lead to over heating problems.
