What all do I have to change ? I would like to keep my hood but do I have to change fenders also or can you just change grill? What are all my options?

The hood won't work. You have to change everything

If you use the search you will find lots of answers and builds...

its basically... hood, fenders, grill, rad support...all unique to 67-68. Your hood is "higher" than the 67-68, which slopes back more gradually.

If you were close I would be able to hook you up with a good start on all that...I just picked up a complete better front clip for my 67.
