I looked about at other cars that had the 79-81 rear and 70-73 front: the later rear ends had a real blocky ass that simply did not go with the very rounded fronts of the early 2nd gens. The rear bumpers with those weird "pads" made it that much worse.

Changing the rear tin was not as difficult as it looks - easier than swapping in replacement quarters I thought.
