Dennis, thanks for the tip on ACI. I went to their site and saw some interesting things - I'll try to give them a call.
John and Jim - the bonus (essentially) was for 'employee of the year' not "Employee of the decade" so while it was nice, not enough to cover a new car. Jim, it would allow me to get a one piece front end (and perhaps even a stinger hood), but it might not leave much for the ensuing body work and paint.
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

"Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comforting to cry in a CORVETTE than in a Kia"
I do appreciate all of the comments - even the ones that go against the direction I'm thinking - really. I don't like the idea of cutting fenders (even though they are not original) and I do like the idea of trying to figure out how to make any changes reversible. A full front end (without tilt-up, Norsky) would get me that, but not sure that's where I want to go. I've been surfing e-bay for some cheap 80 front fenders, but no luck so far.
