Do we know for sure that the 07 shell is different between models? I always assumed (I know, I know, lol) that the differences lie in the facias but that the original structures were unchanged and just used different facia mounting structures but no different mounting points on the 07 shell. I always figured you could bolt on any 07 front end onto any model without a problem, as long as you had all the correct internal structures needed. (ie turning a Monza into a Sunbird like Dave is going to do). The front letter just tells you which front/rear end to mount and which internal structures went with it. Odd to think the Buick and Olds structures would be different, especially from 75-78.

Try Bolting the Sport monza Rear fascia to a non Sport Body.
ie: R07 parts on an M07 shell....
U have to undo spotwelds, and swap in the corresponding rear structure.
The fronts will bolt up but you'll be missing a hole in the sheetmetal for the highbeams.
So like I said, we know the differences in R vs. M.....
I'll have to take a close look at some T07 D07's and S07's if I can find any.
Thanks for the D07/ S07 / T07 corrections...lil mix up on the Buick / Olds side.
